Since the 90s republicans and democrats have BOTH been increasing taxes on the middle class, except Reagan who actually lowered taxes. There's plenty of charts showing who raised taxes and the democrats are not the 'pure good' which you believe.
The larger government grows the more it will need to raise taxes on its people and since the wealthy have loop holes the middle class people and middle class businesses will be suffering. The end result causes a smaller amount of middle class and a greater gap between the wealthy and the poor.
In any case the democrats now own the presidency, the majority of congress and the majority of governors... so let's see where we sit in 3 years. |
I absolutely, never said that Democrats are "pure good". That is the only absolute I will offer you, other than this one.
However, statistically speaking, Republicans have consistently had greater rise in deficit spending, and in % of budget as deficit.
I don't care how much we get taxed, as long as there is something to show for it. But somehow Republicans manage to spend more, and do less. Explain that to me, please. I am sure you can, and I'm sure I'll disagree, but hey, evolution thrives on adversity.
