This is What Pisses Me Off About The Democrats

[TaraJo]

Wow. I already read the story that said the US isn't really a democracy anymore and this doofus seems to make it even less democratic. No, I'd much rather restrict the say plutocrats have on our democratic process than let them continue to completely control it. As it is now, you have virtually no say in how our government is run unless you make $1,000,000 or more a year.

Here's a few truths about job creation: You don't get more and more job from billionaires having more money than they know what to do with. You get more jobs when they have a business need to fulfill. They aren't going to have any reason to build 300 refrigerators a week if they can only sell 200 refrigertors a week. How do you sell that other 100? They don't; they lay off the employees they would have used to build those extra 100 friges. If minimum wage is increased, it increases the nations spending power, giving business back to these factories and the stores that sell their products and even to the people who harvest raw material that the factorys turn into products.

You want to know what cutting taxes gets you, economically? Regan cut taxes almost immediately after he took office and we went into recession; I remember my dad getting laid off when that happened, resulting in my family having to move about 1,000 miles away, chasing jobs. Dubya spent most of his presidency cutting taxes every time there was any problem and the economy got really fucked over. Tax cuts were never a significant part of the Clinton administration, but the economy was BOOMING while he was in office. So, tell me, why is it we're emulating the economic practices that led to economic downturn instead of the economic practices that lead to amazing economic growth?
