OFFICIAL: Donald ***** thread.

Then what caused the economy to coincedentally skyrocket after the tax cuts?

And why did we see the same economic growth after the Clinton tax cuts as well?

Clinton also introduced tax increases on the top earners in the 90s, the 90s real GDP growth was higher than the 80s.

G.W Bush slashed taxes in the 2000s and real GDP growth was inferior to the 90s and 70s where the top income tax rate was much higher.

***** raised taxes, and last year the real household income of the American middle class returned to near pre-recession levels.

I was hoping you'd point that out.

Yes, Clinton both raised and cut taxes.

The tax cuts resulted in higher GDP growth, and even lower deficits, than the tax increases did.

Explain that, please....

***** raised taxes, and last year the real household income of the American middle class returned to near pre-recession levels.

First, sourse that.

Second, if it took 8 years to get back to where it started (and remember it fell during those 8 years), that's really nothing to brag about.

You also failed to answer the first question I asked about the cause of the Reagan boom. Please get to that.

Clinton raised the top marginal rate, the economic growth in the 90s was superior to that of the 80's, fact.

Considering it was the biggest financial meltdown since the great depression I'd say it's a good achievement.

You also failed to answer the first question I asked about the cause of the Reagan boom. Please get to that.

Which Reagan boom? growth during the 70s and 90s was higher than the Reagan years, and before then it was even higher (40s-70s), those years had much higher taxes than the Reagan years.

Tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires will just give them a windfall and accelerate the gap between the rich and poor. LOL at anyone thinking wages will rise, why would they? If they don't rise when corporate profits are at an all time high they won't rise if they're granted even more in tax cuts.

You didn't address my point that the growth and revenue was greater after the Clinton tax cuts than after the Clinton tax increases.

You just repeated yourself.

Please address that point.

Considering it was the biggest financial meltdown since the great depression I'd say it's a good achievement.

So 7 years of falling wages and 8 years of 2% GDP growth is "good"??

You have low standards.

Which Reagan boom? growth during the 70s and 90s was higher than the Reagan years, and before then it was even higher (40s-70s), those years had much higher taxes than the Reagan years.

We've been over this. Please keep up.

Reagan saw household incomes rise, and quarterly GDP growth over 7%.

Contrast that to *****'s falling wages and 2% GDP growth.

There's no comparison, no matter how many times you repeat yourself like a broken record.

Tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires will just give them a windfall and accelerate the gap between the rich and poor. LOL at anyone thinking wages will rise, why would they?

Wages rose in the 80s.

You're not keeping up.

You're too busy copy-and-pasting DNC talking points and missing the facts being debated.

You need to try and keep up here.

Facts > talking points

You've still not addressed the cause of the Reagan boom, ie the increases in GDP and revenue.

You first said the increases in GDP and revenue wasn't caused by tax cuts. When then asked what caused it, you then denied it happened.

Please answer that and quitting ducking and dodging.

Still waiting for someone to tell me how this is supposed to benefit the American people.

I don't get it either but I guess we will see.

Never said that, just bringing up what the experts have concluded, that there's no evidence slashing taxes boosts GDP.

What clinton tax cuts? Capital gains? The other tax increases eclipsed that, and the economy still grew.

How did GDP growth surpass Reagan's in spite of higher taxes?
