How about that, Bush's tax cuts are working.
I don't see that. I see an article that says that the budget overrun is going to be less than originally projected.
I never heard of a CEO or a company that would hire someone or build a factory simply because they had a little extra cash. Companies hire people and create jobs when its profitable to do so. Does Bush's tax cuts suddenly make it profitable to do that? I don't understand how it would but I invite any of you to explain it to me.
No Bush-bashing, no partisanship, just a discussion of economics. Try, when you respond to me, to keep in mind that I voted for Bush.

In short, tax cuts spur economic growth and all ships rise with the tide which puts more revenue in the Govt's treasury.
You've simply re-asserted your original claim without actually providing anything new. Why don't you try and actually answer my question? In what way do Bush's tax cuts make it profitable for a company to hire new workers or expand local production?
You've excellently defended the claim that Bush's tax cuts put more money in the pockets of the wealthy. I'm asking you to support the idea that that leads to economic growth.
