Best Run States Are Republican Controlled

The "PROBLEM" is that people like you dont understand what fiscal responsibility means.

If you CUT taxes, you REDUCE revenue. NEVER in history, has cutting taxes of the rich INCREASED revenue in the economy. Republicans always run on a platform of cutting taxes and increasing revenue by stimulating the economy with trickle down economics.

Unfortunately, its NEVER worked.

In Kansas, the governor cut taxes and wiped out not only his economy, but his infrastructure as well. He has to borrow from highway funds just to keep the government running and he also has to DIVERT billions out of state pensions to pay for HIS SHORTFALLS.

Thats pension money that will never be recovered, much like Reagan did to social security.

Its amazing how people like you "THINK" you know how things work.

TOS.
actually if hte government cut taxes on poor people who spend everything they earn, then it would probably be a stimulus.

diverting billions out of state pensions? sounds like they wont be paid

You liberals are simply retarded. Here we have a thread about a study that simply shows that Republican run states are more fiscally sound and you pecker heads are tossing "climate change" into the discussion?!?! LOL.

Why don't you people just realize that being liberal with money is a bad thing? I'll try you why. You can't because your emotions get in the way of any chance at using logic and common sense.
climate change will cost trillions.

yea and yet as undesirable as we try to make ourselves we still have millions sneaking across the border to join us.
"The loss of faith in the political system and neoliberal ideology is widespread. The corporate elites are pouring $5 billion into the carnival of presidential electoral politics in a desperate bid to keep us mesmerized and controlled. Democracy is endlessly invoked on the airwaves to legitimize the corporate and political forces that have destroyed it. Congress has an approval rating of 11 percent. Half of qualified voters are not registered to vote, and half of registered voters do not go to the polls. A little more than half of 25 percent—no more than 15 percent—of the electorate determines who becomes president. And this is the way the elites want it."

Cutting taxes works when done in conjunction with cutting spending and phasing out bloated government programs that aren't needed. But you people think that we "need" big government and are too stupid to realize that there aren't enough rich people (or workers for that matter) to fund all of your gravy train handouts and unproductive government jobs.

You people are like a disease that some sick and twisted mad scientist from a foreign government designed to infect this country and destroy it from within. And that very well could be the case. Circa the Soviets/Rusians and/or Chinese.

Demonstrate ONE period of time where cutting the taxes of the rich has EVER worked in the history of the USA.

And please, save yourself the embarrassment and dont name Reagan. You would only be lining up a homerun for me.

You are talking about a THEORY, not a practical working method.

Everyone knows, that if you could control spending, then you could cut REVENUE, but that never happens.

Didnt happen for Hoover, Didnt happen for Reagan, Didnt happen for BUSH2 and it isnt happening for ALL the republican governors in the USA.

The best that the republicans can do , is kick the can down the road until they leave office, so they wont end up holding the bag...

IE: GEORGE W. BUSH who left nearly 6 trillion dollars on the desk of president Obama on the day he left. That debt spread over the next 10 years from when Obama took office.

TO YOU, thats fiscal responsibility.

Of course they wont be paid, and the middle class redneck in Kansas will never see their earned pensions, as the RICH got the tax breaks and "They" end up paying for them.

But of course, O.U.T. would have you believe thats the way to run a state properly.

Three times revenue increased after tax cuts

But again....... If you liberals didn't spend waaaaaaay beyond your means on handouts and unproductive government jobs taxes wouldn't be an issue.

Just face it dude. Your people suck at running things. Particularly spending.

You brown guys have lost sight of one important fact. The right to collective bargaining is and will remain a key component of the so called "liberal" political agenda. What would you have today without it? .........FedEx. How many of you guys would trade what you have at Brown for what they have at Fed Ex?

From your own article..

"Of course, it would be oversimplifying to suggest that tax rates and economic growth are the only determinants of tax revenue. Not every tax cut will increase revenue, nor will every tax increase. Most tax cuts partially pay for themselves with increased revenue from higher economic growth, but not all."

This article LEAVES out all the other metrics of TAX INCREASES over those same years and it tries to limit the argument to economic growth because of the tax cuts.

But like Reagan, He RAISED taxes all over the map to cover his shortfalls, and diverted social security money via tax increases to try to keep his head above water.

What YOU fail to understand is how money is diverted, and the people who would try to convince you that tax cuts are the answer to a growing economy trick you by leaving out the details.
