The Bush Tax Cuts After Ten Years

Are you frigging drunk?
If tax cuts produce prosperity, why did Bush leave with the economy in a shambles?

Because Clinton repealed Glass Steagall.

That said, as stated many times, tax cuts are SHORT term stimulus. They only work long term if you have corresponding spending cuts. They do not work long term when you outspend revenue like drunken liberals.

You do realize that both Clinton AND Bush cut taxes for the rich.... or did you miss those capital gains tax cuts and 'qualified' dividend income tax rates?

Also... raising marginal tax rates does little if you turn around and give them the deductions and loopholes to reduce taxable income.

Dude, your making our point for us (#OWS), the housing bubble wasn't caused by Freddie and Fannie, it was caused by the Bush Administration (The American Dream
Downpaymet Initiative .....http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/affordablehousing/programs/home/addi/). The housing bubble burst because of over-leveraging by Wall St. Also,
because of deceitful practices by mortgage brokers. See, Fannie & Freddie didn't impose the regulations that led to "anyone" qualifying for a loan, Bush did with the initiative referenced above. Also, you say regulations died in the Senate, funny republicans had control of the House and the Senate from 2000-2006. So, your argument is totally baseless as are all republican arguments sadly.
You want to find out what roll the conservatives have played in the last 11 years, read the article below, and while reading, remember that the people indicting your party are all
REPUBLICANS.

That's a misleading argument, that tax cut you refer to in '97 was originated by Newt Gingrich, and Clinton is culpable because he signed it. Truth is you need to open your eyes, just
because appeasement by Clinton is factual, doesn't mean your party isn't responsible for the atrocity that have become the Bush Tax cuts and their continued defense of them. Neither
does it absolve your presidential candidates, which all want to make them permanent and thus want to make income inequality a permanent part of our society...

Your lying, and really dumb from the looks of it. You want the truth about water boarding, read "Black Banners" by Ali Soufan, he was the lead FBI investigator from the September 11th attacks and says repeatedly that the Higher Ups in the Bush Administration should be tried for crimes of WAR. Also, he details how torture never worked and how the Bush administration
continued to lie to the the American public about it's effectiveness. But I guess asking you to read, when you can just turn on Faux news to get your falsities is asking too much.
Ali Soufan, lead FBI interrogator, not a blogger or a reporter, but the Lead FBI interrogator during the time in question..!!

You just can't argue with facts and words from the "horses mouth" instead of the "horses ass"......

Clinton administration's "BANK AFFIRMATIVE ACTION" They forced banks to make

Between 1947 and 1979, productivity in the US rose by 119%, while the income of the bottom fifth of the population rose by 122%.

But from 1979 to 2009, productivity rose by 80%, while the income of the bottom fifth fell by 4%.

In roughly the same period, the income of the top 1% rose by 270%.

This was most assuredly not wrought by liberals and progressives.

Yet, every time I rebuke convervatives for voting against their own best interests I am laughed at even by the very smartest conservative members here.

It is just too fucking funny, in a sad, you are dying of an incurable terminal illness kind of way.

I mean, look at the distinct lack of intellectual prowess displayed by the self-proclaimed "SmarterThatYou"...

Agreed, but I was thinking more of Damocles and Superfreak.
