Here is a simple test, did the Reagan economic program deliver on the promises made when it was proposed back in 1981?

Did the Bush economic plan deliver on its promises when it was proposed in 2001?

Just on one small part, the promise to balance the budget, the answer is no, both of these plans blew the deficit up badly. Both promised jobs but very few were delivered. The list goes on and on. What the both accomplished was to give far more power to corporate interests, which is why both are still popular with the people with most of the money and power. They got a good deal, at the expense of the 99% of us.

Class warfare and income redistribution in reverse, plain and simple.

The answer IMHO is not so much tax breaks as increased taxes with well crafted loopholes.

lots of people with money will do incredibly stupid things to avoid giving it to the government. Let them do so by spending their money on what the government would have to establish an inefficient bureaucracy to do the same with tax dollars.

We knew that giving loans to people that could not afford them, under threat of discrimination lawsuit, was not the way to go and would leach from the Ray Gun induced disaster.

A state is better governed which has but few laws, and those laws strictly observed. Some really wacky neocon named R. Decartes
