Hello cawacko,
Let's get a couple of things straight. Sadly I have over 50k posts on this board. I don't run from anything. If I did I would have been gone a long time ago.
Secondly, stop lying. Funny you complain people don't discuss politics enough then you just go out and lie. Maybe people would talk politics more if folks such as yourself didn't lie as much?
I have made my position clear on multiple occasions regarding government overspending and Republican's involvement. So like I said stop lying.
And you came into this thread and tried to change the topic. If you want to discuss the deficit or debt start your own thread on the subject.
The thread is about corporate tax reform. And yes, there was bi-partisan rhetoric/support for lowering the corporate tax rate in the past. Again, one can disagree with the legislation as it was passed. But it is a fact that there was bi-partisan support for it. So stop lying man.
Calling it like I see it:
President Trump signed off on this tax cut. TRUE or FALSE?
President Trump also signed off on the budget. TRUE or FALSE?
The debt is up to a Trillion. TRUE or FALSE?
I asked for some defense of the President for acting so irresponsibly. TRUE or FALSE?
You breezed right by that, didn't take it up, and instead proceeded to attack Democrats. TRUE or FALSE?
I call that running from defending Trump.
Now you say I am lying. That's not lying. That's just stating my view, my opinion, to which I am entitled.
Please quote what I said, that you feel is a lie. Quote my exact words. Show what is the truth. Show that I knew what the truth was and instead chose to make a false statement, fully knowing it to be false.
If I have lied, I will own up to it. I stand behind what I said.
Go ahead. Make your case.
Make that case or back off on the unfounded accusations.
The way I see it, in my opinion, talking about something else instead of answering a point well made is running from the point.
Now you claim I am going off the subject. Not true. I have made my points for the specific purpose of supporting the contention of the OP, and I quote:
""Donald Trump’s signature legislative achievement was the corporate-tax cut he signed in 2017. Republicans said it would grow the economy by up to 6 percent, stimulate business investment, and pay for itself."
"None of those promises have come to pass. GDP growth has declined to less than 2 percent according to the latest report, released yesterday. Business investment has now declined for two straight quarters, dragging down economic growth. And the federal deficit exceeds $1 trillion.""
Allow me to borrow some famous words: 'Now, let me make this perfectly clear:'
The GOP tax cuts did not work. My point explained why that is true. I did not lie.
If the tax cuts worked, enough revenue would have been generated to balance the budget. Said sufficient revenue was NOT generated. It is blinders-on thinking to only consider the economy as a measure of how effective tax policy is.
The purpose of taxing is not to produce a good economy.
The purpose of taxing is to pay for the government.
When evaluating the effectiveness of tax policy, we must examine if that policy brought in enough taxes to pay for the government. It did not.
Republicans claimed the economy would soar as high as 6% growth. Never happened.
GOP Tax cut is a failure.
NO LIE.
