Reply #23: I think the gentleman who wrote that article was mis-informed at best [View All]

and deceitful at worst. He seems to blurr the connection between causation and correlation (correlation does not equal causation- the golden rule in statistics). Plus this little line is completely un-true "Bush I cut taxes, and the nation fell into a severe recession while debt soared and wages for working people fell". Bush I actually raised taxes (one of the reasons he lost re-election; remember "read my lips, no new taxes"). Ohh and lets not forget about this other bit of info "Things stabilized somewhat when Clinton slightly raised taxes on the very rich". Somewhat true- but we did have the dot-com bubble under clinton and towards the end of bush I the economy was showing signs of turning around (there was still high unemployment though- but thats a lagging indicator).

plus i'll add that there was wasnt that much substance backing up his assertions. He basically makes a statement and goes onto the next one. W
