George W. Bush was so bad that he has been beaten... twice... by a black Muslifrom Kenya. ;O The OBAMATRAIN, the hippist trip in America!
Seriously, TV is no longer in black and white -- this country has changed. We are no longer PALE, MALE and STALE. Embrace the change or continue to get left behind.
You'd think that Republicans would stop visiting that ol' "trickle down" well -- which has obviously run dry. Fresh ideas are needed. Here's one: Tie tax cuts to job creation. If a business creates a new job for a whole year, give 'em a tax cut.
To do so, to tie tax cuts to job creation, would expose the BIG Lie of Republicans: That is, tax cuts (and deregulation) lead to job creation. And where do tax cuts (and deregulation) fit into the law of Supply & Demand? They don't: Tax cuts (and deregulation) have nothing to do with job creation; tax cuts are how the right redistributes wealth. It's social engineering brought to you by your favorite (R).
Look a the case of Continental Tire, for example. Why did they spurn North Carolina and choose South Carolina? Were our taxes too high? Did we have too much regulation? Was it because we lacked an anti-gay Amendment to our state Constitution then? No, we lost Continental Tire because we refused to pay 'em a $45 million bribe --South Carolina paid a $30 million bribe.
The days of ol' Republican talking points are gone -- tax cuts for the wealthy, the fear of "them." Sing it, Ayn Rand:
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Brotherhood -- a feeling of fellowship and sympathy and compassion for other people.
