They don't work.
Anyone see Senator Bernie Sanders filibuster?
It was awesome. He pretty much said what most Americans are thinking.
These big corporation don't need anymore tax cuts, we'll never see that money again.
I say choke the wealthy on taxes.

I agree. If tax cuts for the rich are supposed to create jobs, then the middle class and poor deserve a refund from those worthless rich bastards. The economy tanked in 2008 and still hasn't recovered, and tax cuts for the rich didn't do anything. Want to stimulate the economy? Give some money to poor and middle class people, they will spend it right away. Give money to a rich guy and he throws on the stack. He can spend it, or stuff it in his mattress or swiss bank account, maybe spend it overseas or even use it to light his cigars. There are a lot of gullible people voting Republican, voting like they are rich when they will never be rich.
Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from bad decisions.

I say stop letting the big corporations pay their CEOs multi million dollar bonuses every year......or at least tax them 50% on it. If they give them stock options to get around the bonus thing, tax them when they sell their shares. Really, who needs that much god damned money.

Yes. The wealthy should choke on taxes. It would do wonders for our deficit.
Unfortunately both parties are so far up the corporation's butt holes that it's never going to happen.

Not to mention their less than intelligent supporters *cough* T *cough* party, who quote slogans from "Atlas Shrugged" as if they know what they mean
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil

trickle down economics is a good way to get rid of the poor. most people who have a lot of money spend it on ten cars, multiple large homes, travel to those homes, securing an estate for their own, take whatever they want, and send the rest down to us.
such bullshit.baby ya hustle. but me i hustle harder.
