The Republicans keep trying to get tax cuts for the wealthy because they "Create Jobs". Not only does the theory of Supply-side economics not make sense, but the practice has proven that the wealthy do not create jobs because we give them more money, via tax breaks. Before I spell out my plan to end the "Job Creator" lie, I would first like to define Supply-side economics.
Supply-side economics, also known as Trickle down economics or Voodoo economics was championed by the Republican Party's greatest hero Ronald Reagan. I don't know if it first appeared during Reagan's administration, but I do know the Republicans couldn't tout it's benefits more. So, what is Supply-side economics? In my opinion it is the practice of giving the rich our money (non-rich people), in the form of tax breaks, so the rich can then give us non-rich people some of our money back . . . After we've done some work for them. In other words, we pay the rich to pay us less for us to labor for their benefit.
Now, I could blame Republicans solely for this practice, if they didn't have complicit partners in this immoral practice. The truth however is that the party that seems to stand for the People has never been able to mount a reasonable defense against this redistribution of wealth. Why is it that the Democrats cannot seem to argue the insanity of giving the rich even more money by taking it away from the rest of us? After all, the rich already have enough money; They're rich, so they know how to get money, which implies that the don't need help getting more money and money doesn't seem to make them happy (if it did, millions or billions should do the trick), implying that they are hording it for some other reason, which wouldn't seem to bode well for the rest of us . . . unless you like lower wages, higher costs of living and all the bad that comes from the rest of having to share a smaller piece of the pie. So, why is it that the Democrats cannot mount a defense against one of the biggest problems the world faces today? Maybe the right question would be why do the Democrats choose to allow the Republicans make this claim year after year, decade after illogical decade? Regardless of the answer to this question, I have devised a plan to not only rid the world of this immoral stance, but to provide an argument that no Republican could refute . . . At least not rationally.
