If the U.S. doesn't want an elderly exodus it has to stop being so greedy.

What are you talking about, First you want cuts now you don't? I think you post just to hear yourself talk?

We are free to live wherever we want with the SS we're entitled to. If the U.S. doesn't want an elderly exodus it has to stop being so greedy. You may get by fine when you're working full-time. A whole different world for those on limited fixed income.

Elderly Exodus?

 

[vantexan]

In America, nobody should have to starve.

And in America if they're able bodied they can work.

 

[vantexan]

Elderly Exodus?

You may be unaware of it but more and more retirees are choosing to live overseas. Millions.

 

[vantexan]

I haven't a clue what you're trying to say.

Able bodied doesn't end at 65.

Seniors were living in dire poverty before Social Security came along. You want us to go back to that?

 

[vantexan]

Able bodied doesn't end at 65.

For a lot of blue collar workers their bodies are pretty broken down by full retirement age. You want us to support young, able bodied people but make people who worked hard all their lives continue to do so until they drop dead. Social justice, huh?

Revenue also increased without tax cuts. There is no control in this experiment, economics is all theory and you act like it is fact.

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Cool story

 

[59 Dano]

Math.

If you have $100 subject to taxation at 40% you get $40.

If you cut the tax rate to 20%, you need to double economic activity to get the same $40.

Now the argument seem to be that cutting the tax rate spurs economic activity.

Well, yeah. When prices are lower/net incomes are higher, that's what tends to happen.

Even if you double economic activity, you still haven't even begun to touch the budget deficit or the debt.

You avoid the deficit by spending less than revenues.

Now who believes the economic activity will double? If it doesn't, the deficit and the debt explode.

Really? Why?

 

[59 Dano]

In America, nobody should have to starve.

Disagree.

Cool story

Not half as cool as your "economics is all theory" story.

Truth hurts huh?
Still waiting to get trickled down on?

I want them to help kids in overcrowded schools learn to read.

 

[bbsam]

Disagree.

You would.

What are you talking about? There is no such theory of trickle-down economics, you ignorant .

 

[59 Dano]

You would.

Absolutely. It's often a situation that is earned.

Do you live under a rock?

You've told us in the past you have a lot of free time in your position. Which school do you volunteer at.
