Thats also a long way from realistic, the claim that the government doesnt seize property / wealth Its called the tax code, the IRS Obamas goon squad

The current flood of cheap labor undercutting even the poorest Americans is a REAL issue Illegal immigration/legal immigration is a drop in the bucket compared to all the jobs that your beloved American corps have outsourced to China, India, etc etc.. That is the REAL issue.. those are jobs and wages lost forever and that money will never circulate (& create more jobs) in the local/US economy (unlike those immigrants here that spend money on food, gas, vehicles, rent, homes, tools, supplies, clothes etc here).. I know a (legal) Mexican 20+year immigrant that buys clothes & stuff here to send to her relatives in Mexico cuz the stuff she can get here costs less and is better quality than what you can buy in Mexico..

If you want others to provide you with everything you need, why don't you move to Cuba

Most leftists don't realize Kennedy thought much the same about economics as did Reagan. The 1975–1985 period was an era of great debate about the impact of supply-side policies. The supply siders highlighted the positive evidence from two earlier major tax cuts—the Coolidge-Mellon cuts of the 1920s and the Kennedy tax cut of the 1960s. Between 1921 and 1926, three major tax cuts reduced the top marginal rate from 73 percent to 25 percent. The Kennedy tax cut reduced rates across the board, and the top marginal rate was sliced from 91 percent to 70 percent. Both of these tax cuts were followed by strong growth and increasing prosperity. In contrast, the huge Hoover tax increase of 1932—the top rate was increased from 25 percent to 63 percent in one year—helped keep the economy depressed. As the economy grew slowly in the 1970s and the unemployment rate rose, supply-side economists argued that these conditions were the result of high tax rates due to high inflation.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Kennedy stimulated our economy across a very wide front. Reagan was only concerned with Defense. Kennedy tried to cut taxes across the board. 'Republicans' rejected it. It didnt pass until LBJ. Reagan was only concerned with the highest rates. Kennedy was still in the Tariff era, and wanted to open reciprocal trade. Reagan was a full out free market communist. And the largest move to unfettered military-industrial complex, and monopolization and amoral corporatism took place under Reagan.

It's kinda pinkish because it's from NPR but here. http://www.npr.org/2013/11/12/244772593/jfks-lasting-economic-legacy-lower-tax-rates Congress approved the tax cuts three months after Kennedy was assinated jester. You spin it, as always, as if Republicans refused to deal with Kennedy.

mnottertail -> RE: Income Inequality is costing the US on Social Issues (4/30/2015 2:07:53 PM)
There aint no spin. It is as I said. Try not to spew geyers of stupidity like that while at the same time providing credible citations that I am right. It makes you look fucking stupider, people can see you here. http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/02/04/how-l-b-j-pushed-through-kennedys-tax-cut/?_r=0 when 'republicans' became free market communists (after wwII) they were the tax and spend crowd, now they are the borrow and spend crowd. They are either for or against this stuff before they are for or against it. They havent always been that way. Once there were republicans, and conservatives, now there are neither.
