I have to wonder why there is a 3.8 percent tax cuts for high income payers. which will save...158 billion for those people but by cutting hundreds of billions from medicare they are not attacking the poor?
The poor still getting the shaft and the blame.
You can't cut taxes for people who never pay in and only receive refunds
But don't let the facts interfere with disseminating your hateful lies and disinformation
"The poor" get the shaft when leftists destroy economies, it has happened again and again and again and again all over the planet
The poor get the shaft when bankers and speculators destroy economies. We have had several examples here, the latest in 2008.
Give us an example or two when Leftists destroyed economies "time and time again."
Venezuela and Cuba off the top of my head.
Venezuela went down hill when the IMF imposed an austerity regime and the poor rioted, thus leading to the leftist government. When Chavez took over in 1999 the poverty rate was above 23% By 2011 before the oil bust it was down to 8.4%
Batista had sold out Cuba to the Mafia casino interests from whence he took a slice. Cuba was owned by American interests from sugar to prostitution.
Let us not be mislead into thinking everything was hunky dory in those nations before their leftist revolutions. History does not begin when you wish it to.
Hugo's party nationalized things (99), and for what, 4 years 03-07), things went well. Then they pretty much found out it was unsustainable. Things have went downhill since.
Cuba? In the time I have been alive, 40 years or 2 generations, Cuba has NOT had a good economy. I don't care what that fat douchebag Michael Moore says.
Russia and CHina's economies are pretty shakey right now. The petro states economies are less than good right now. Portugal's economy is interesting. Most of the African economies are poor. I have no idea about India right now, although I guess Bollywood is doing well.
Well, current Russian and Chinese economies cannot be called leftist. They are more market oriented controlled thugeries. Tells me it doesn't matter Left/Centered/Right if your economy sells oil and the price goes down there will be problems. Although, about China, not so sure.
Chavis nationalized oil probably for the same reason Iran did in the 1950s or thereabouts.
Cuba? You don't suppose the crash of the Communist world and the concurrent U.S. embargo had an effect on their economy, hey?
I think that the simple left versus right binary that seems to be in favor on this forum does not work that well with any of the economies on this Earth.
Chavis was a socialist and so was the constitution he helped create which did nationalize so much.
Cuba - they could have fixed their economy. Castro liked it like it was. All power to the party! Seriously though, with just a little work it could have been a wonderful tourist place again.
And yes, the Petro states are pretty screwed because the only thing they have is oil. They have neglected to create anything else to export, other than terrorists.
Millions and millions and millions of Chinese were starved to death under communism, you can't blame that on any embargo. And Cuba had no embargo with the Soviet Union or other communist countries, so what was the problem
beside the fact that communists can't provide their own toilet paper or anything else
