Forty five years of Reaganomics.

23. "And the reason because the rich do not want to pay taxes."

This is it in a nutshell. THIS is the entire agenda of the modern GOP. Everything else is secondary to the fact they want to give tax bennies for themselves or their rich donors. That is all the GOP is for. Because so many of the masses are delusional and brainwashed to hand over their wallets to benefit these leeches at the top, they think the Republicans are "better" on the economy than Democrats. It is all because they think THEY will benefit from tax cuts.

This is at the core of the crackpot Chicago School, Milton Friedman, neoliberal economics, and "libertarianism."

I call it Reverse Robin Hood economics.

All of the handouts to the rich and businesses have been tried before, pre-Great Depression, and it all failed miserably, hence all the safeguards that have been put in place beginning with FDR.

It's like people never learn a damned thing.
