BS Economics of the Right Wing Part 2

Great comment on why tax cuts are bullshit from a great guy I know on another forum. To paraphrase:

Voters: But if tax cuts are so awesome, why are we paying those taxes to begin with?
GOP: To pay for services and infrastructure.
Voters: But you also said we need more infrastructure, how do we pay for this?
GOP: With the tax cuts.
Voters: How does that work?
GOP: Tax cuts stimulate the economy.
Voters: So by giving voters more money, we're going to go out and rebuild bridges and built alternative energy plants ourselves?
GOP: Um.....let me get back to you on that.

The absolute intellectual poverty of this position is amazing to behold.

Then we get to the argument where the Republican says something along the lines of "But the American people want tax cuts." to which Fred Durst had a great response:

"Well, duh. The American people also want drive-through nickel beer night. The American people want to lose weight by eating ice cream. The American people love the Home Shopping Network because it's commercial-free."


What's also prof0undly sad is that the same retarded arguments made against FDR in 1933 (it will cost too much, it won't work, we need to balance the budget, we need tax cuts) are the same arguments being made today by the same assholes.
