re are two things that most so-called conservatives don’t seem to consider.
>> One, if you don’t redistribute a certain amount of wealth through taxation,
>>it gets so concentrated that the economy collapses and nobodies wealth is
>>worth anything anymore. Second, cutting taxes shrinks the economy. Why?
>> Because individuals, especially rich ones, don’t spend 100% of every dollar
>>they earn – they save some of it. Governments generally spend every red
>>cent they bring in. So, when George cuts taxes for his rich friends, the
>>US economy actually shrinks by the amount that people save and government
>>would have spent, further contributing the bankrupting of America.
>>
>>As a Canadian, I’m extremely worried about the direction that the US is
>heading
>>in. Bush and the terrorists seem to have the same agenda. There’s no success
>>for Canada if the US falls apart. I can’t even tell you how heartbroken
>>and disappointed I was when George won the election. I’ve always believed
>>in and admired Americans
