    People don't buy shit when they don't have money because all the money is collecting dust in the accounts of the super-rich. It is better to tax them than to simply print more. Did you think there was an infinite supply for these cancerous citizens to just keep accumulating it?
    So explain to us how apple's profits have doubled since 2008? I thought people didn't have money to buy anything? There are plenty of other companies out their offering much cheaper versions of apples products. So why does everyone buy the over priced shit?

    once again, throwing strawboys at me.

    i never made the claim you ask me to back up. i can back up the claim i actually made though, which i will set forth below.

    "Show me overwhelming evidence that businesses don't think taxes are as important"

    yes they do.

    that is why we have seen a bigger increase in wealth inequality than income inequality.

    why? because wealth is largely untaxed, save the estate tax, and income is largely taxed, save loopholes galore.

    hence, we arrive at this.

    Lol, so by your logic, they have grown their wealth because they horde it. I can provide hundreds of examples of billionaires creating business's, investing in projects never seen before, and providing funding for new business's. Can you provide any examples of the wealthy "hording" their money?

    Nothing to do with the argument, have they doubled hiring since then?

    lmao you imbecile, you made the statement and can't back it up. I want you and that pea brain of yours to show proof that a sound business does not take into account their tax liability. Put up or shut up time girlfriend.

    No it cannot. Drunklebuck says things that he thinks sound right or because it heard the statement somewhere. No looking into the statement, just scratch the surface and run with it. No proof, just because it says so.

    They don't hoard it you fool. They invest. They also buy off the politicians with their lobbyists. When the crash came the ones who ended up footing the bill were the lower and middle classes. Nothing to do with taxes, nothing to do with the free market where the losers fail. Everything to do with the manipulation of the economy by big government and picking winners and losers.

    I would still like to know what the enitre point of all this is. I agree "Tricke Down" is bs but so what? What the fuck does that mean really? All it means is the Republicans are corrupt liars, it doesn't justify the democrats corrupt lies. They are all a bunch of corrupt liars. The fact that this the usual democrat argument "blame republicans", is pathetic and serves no fucking purpose but to argue like children. It is just as bad as the shit the Republicans pull, such a primal argument, your like a bunch of cavemen going at it.
