This afternoon in Stop and Shop a woman was complaining to her husband about the Republicans tax breaks. He agreed. I asked them when was the economy best in the last fifty years, when did you make the most money? They thought for just a second and said the 1980's. I asked why was it best. He said the economy was growing so quickly. I asked why. They looked at each other. No answer, I said well it certainly was not because of Jimmy Carter. Who came next. The woman said Reagan, oh all he did was cut taxes for the rich. I said well that is where the money is. If you give the middle class a tax break most just spend it, it is a boost to the economy, but only to the retail economy. The rich buy stocks, invest to grow their businesses, and their large investments drive the economy. I asked do you know what most lawyers and doctors and wealthy people do when the Democrats raise taxes. They stop taking income out of their businesses. My step father was a lawyer, for most of the Carter years he took no pay. When Reagan cut the taxes his law firm had over 1.6 million dollars in the bank. By the end of Reagans first term he had drawn it all out from the bank. And he invested it all. The man was catching on, his wife just resented the fact that my step father had so much money. TheDemocratic party has done a very good job indoctrinating its voters in to the politics of class warfare. They teach their voters to resent those with money, and teach their voters to believe that only they can help them. But these democratic congressman do a good job, because the majority of them are themselves millionaires.
