Pooh-Bah Registered: 08/03/04 Posts: 14185 Loc: Whittier, California	So...I guess it turns out Obama caused the great recession of 2007, two years before he even became President... according to Arthur Laffer. Quote: “Whenever you redistribute income, you reduce total income, and that is what [Sanders is] doing, and I’m very afraid that if he were elected, we would have an enormous crash in the market,” said Laffer. “Now that crash would come in anticipation of his election, but it’s much like Obama, who I believe was the reason we had the Great Recession. As he got closer and closer to winning, the markets collapsed.” Closer and closer to winning, in 2007??? _________________________ The only people pushing the Athenian Straw Man Nonexistent Threat of Slippery Slope Windyfoggery (ASMNSSW) RE DEMOCRACY are people who have a misunderstanding/problem or hatred of democracy.

pondering_it_all veteran Registered: 02/27/06 Posts: 8734 Loc: North San Diego County	There is a big "Republicans are good for the economy" myth, which actually conflicts with the numbers. When you look at the economic performance during Republican and Democratic administrations, they mostly go down for Republicans and up for Democrats. Republican policies tend to exacerbate income inequality, which hurts the overall economy. Trump's tax bill is a huge example of redistributing income. Laffer is ignoring that, because the only income redistribution he worries about is from rich to everyone else. I just did my taxes and made out very well because my wife and I have four different Qualified Businesses. I also did my 92 year-old mother's taxes and she got screwed. She's burned through her savings and has to sell her house to pay the assisted living bills.

Never been a smoker but maybe I'll like a home grown cigar, or a pipe now and then... We got our new chickens Friday. _________________________ An entrepreneur sees problems as the seeds of opportunity.
