Okay... there's the problem. (Granholm vs. Armey on MTP)
Dick Armey vamps for a minute about how JFK proved that tax cuts pay for themselves and that Reagan cut taxes and (because of that) revenues doubled.

Granholm responds with some gibberish about how that was 20th century thinking and we need private-public partnerships.

WTF?

How about responding with, "That is a flat lie"?

1. She's interested in a privatizing agenda, not truth, I assume.

2. I want to Scream sometimes!
The tax cuts have never paid for themselves. The money floats up to the top and stays there forcing everybody else to have less of the money circulating in the economy. The height of the Middle Class came when the top income tax rate was 70-90%. The money was reinvested back into the economy by the government and we were able to develop a flourishing middle class as a result.

No politician on the left seems to just call them liars, and attack them on their bullshit fantasy. We use their framing and they just rape America over and over again without remorse. And they convince people it's the left's fault and bend them over for another course. It's fucking depressing!
