45383. RickNelson - 11/27/2012 5:50:12 PM Supply Side economics is Voodoo and a debunked theory!
Kaynsian Economics is still weilding models, confirmed by reality. Taxes must rise upon the rich or the debt will not reduce, and the deficit remains a tangible threat to future GDP growth.
The dollar can hold in the short term from stimulus policies such as the lowest interest rates in history. The flood of dollars will not create hyper inflation in the U.S. during recovery, and it will help to maintain demand, the much needed variable of free markets.
Free markets have devolved to define imaginary instruments such as CDS and inflated stocks. Reissues of these intruments has become the direct cause of failure, and is the inevitable, near future destruction of trillions invested.
The GOP swept in these mechanisms by dismantling the ruling governance. They regard these imaginary trillions as reality, and the hard work of unions muscle and sweat as parasitical. 45384. RickNelson - 11/27/2012 5:52:17 PM Damn spelling errors, Keynesian and by default, whatever I missed. 45385. judithathome - 11/27/2012 6:33:07 PM "You clearly will post any insane thing whatsoever to try to cover up Socialism's Republican's abject failures and shortcomings.
You have shown that you simply don't have the standing to criticize any conservative liberal opinion whatsoever, in light of your irrational Left Right Wing hackery."
Transference ala Conn'd.
45386. judithathome - 11/27/2012 6:36:08 PM b Ex-Republicans claim Fla. GOP suppressed Democratic vote
Former Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer has been claiming for months that state party members engineered a new law to suppress voter turnout, falsely touting voter fraud concerns to advance their mission. Now, other former Republicans and consultants are backing Greer up, The Palm Beach Post reports.
Greer, who is under indictment and accused of funneling campaign funds from the Republican Party, has been claiming that state Republicans supported a law (HB 1355)—which, in part, curtailed early voting—simply as a means to stymie the Democratic vote.
Staff and consultants "never came in to see me and tell me we had a (voter) fraud issue," Greer told the newspaper. "It's all a marketing ploy."
Former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, GOP consultant Wayne Bertsch and one unnamed consultant now tell the newspaper that state Republicans and consultants were actively seeking ways to suppress Democratic turnout following the 2008 election.
"I know that the cutting out of the Sunday before Election Day was one of their targets only because that's a big day when the black churches organize themselves," the anonymous longtime GOP consultant told the newspaper.
Yahoo News 45387. Wombat - 11/27/2012 9:26:11 PM Add Florida to Pennsylvania as admitted Republican efforts to suppress the vote. If a political party feels it has to resort to such strategies because they cannot otherwise win, it doesn't say much for their continued relevance. I'd be "concerned" about that, if I was a Republican. 45388. judithathome - 11/27/2012 9:44:22 PM Heh...me, too...but I am sure we'll hear nothing but confidence from that arena. 45389. anomie - 11/28/2012 5:51:29 AM Judith, Wombat, Thoughtful and others... I just want to express my admiration to ya'll for hanging in there with Concerned over the past few months. Don't know where you get such fortitude. As for me,I have pretty much dropped out of trying to talk with neoconservatives, and I seem to meet them everywhere. Some of them are hard working low-wage earners or living on SS ad medicare...I have given up on reasoning with them. I wish we had William F.Buckley types around like the good ole days.
To Concerned: I'm not dissing you personally, and it's been a fun couple months, but really... I hope this election signals the beginning of some good sense returning to the Republican mentality. You should get ahead of the crowd. 45390. Wombat - 11/28/2012 6:41:53 PM This from the deep thinkers and constitutional experts of the Tea Party, of which Concerned is a proud member.

Note that World Net Daily's editors run a disclaimer because it is so wrong. 45391. Wombat - 11/28/2012 6:47:01 PM It appears that Mitt Romney was wrong about how 47% of the voters wouldn't vote for him. It is looking like Romney's share of the popular vote will be...wait for it...47%! 45392. concerned - 11/28/2012 8:34:17 PM Two-thirds of millionaires left Britain to avoid 50p tax rate
This was due to a top tax rate increase from 40% in 2009. So far, the increase has cost GB $7B in tax revenues, something that the Left is constitutionally unable to comprehend the possibility of occurring. Presumably the economy is deteriorating even faster in Hollande's France with his new 75% top marginal tax rate.
And from irs.gov, the number of millionaires in California has dropped from ~25,000 in 2000 to about ~6,000 today due to Democrat tax increases.
The above is a prescription for the eventual destruction of the middle class and a huge increase in poverty and dependence on state entitlements with only a few uber rich types like Buffett and Soros who do little for private sector employment remaining as part of the picture, something that any intelligent well intentioned person would reject as a matter of course.
The above is yet more proof that the Left is fundamentally incapable of comprehending even basic economic real world interactions. The best thing the US Left could do for everybody's well being is to concede the field to fiscal conservatives, including the Tea Party, but Lefty incompetence and ignorance is only exceeded by their prescriptive arrogance.
45393. concerned - 11/28/2012 9:16:13 PM The above gives a couple excellent illustrations of the Laffer Curve as it applies to real world economics right now.
I know how much the Left *hates* the Laffer Curve, but hate never solved any problems, Lefties. You just need to make your concepts comport with reality. 45394. concerned - 11/28/2012 9:21:59 PM Well, it seems Mote tax-mad vultures are actually salivating over taxing the small family owned farm into extinction. 45395. concerned - 11/28/2012 9:28:31 PM I'm telling people IRL about a chat group poster who hates the Tea Party so much that he equated them to Greeks not paying their taxes. It always elicits at least a good eye-rolling response. Thanks, Wombat, for that bit of insanity. 45396. Wombat - 11/28/2012 11:34:59 PM Just make sure that they remember to keep the government out of their medicare! God must love stupid people; he created enough of them, many of whom joined the Tea Party.
You going for the "Constitutional" option linked above to try and keep Obama from serving his second term? 45397. concerned - 11/28/2012 11:51:54 PM I don't 0bama is serving as a US president, anyway. 45398. judithathome - 11/28/2012 11:59:45 PM Well, that's what is known as "sauce for the goose". 45399. arkymalarky - 11/29/2012 1:29:18 AM Arrogant is rejecting democracy when you don't get your way. Delusional arrogance. 45400. concerned - 11/29/2012 1:45:06 AM "sauce for the goose"
So 0bama's legacy is 'payback'?
What bitter, small, people with shriveled consciences support 0bama. 45401. concerned - 11/29/2012 1:46:39 AM Darn - now you guys can't own a piece of original 0bama art:
45402. concerned - 11/29/2012 1:48:14 AM Maybe I'll create '0bama in Deep Doo - Doo', with his head embedded in a piece of rubber dogshit and put it up on Ebay. $11,000 isn't anything to sneer at.
