Why do large tax cuts never do what they say they will? I'm guessing the guys at the top know it doesn't work but if they can get enough Skulnik's and Hedgehogs to support it, they might get to put it in effect long enough to secure a personal windfall.

Supply side economics :facepalm:
Trickle down economics :mj07:

All the theories the Republicans sell end up being a disaster in the end.

Yes, but the people of Kansas actually re-elected Sam Brownback after his policies bankrupted the state. Republicans simply cannot admit the truth when it's right in their face.

They're just like radical Muslims. No matter how hard they kick their own asses, they keep throwing bombs, yelling Trump Akbar!

The Banana Republic Of Illinois

The media has hyper-obsessed over the Kansas tax hike this year and has sold this as a repudiation of "supply side economics." But the real story in the states has been the catastrophic effects of "tax and spend" fiscal policy in Illinois.

Last week Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner continued his three-year standoff with House Speaker for Life Mike Madigan's liberal Democratic machine over a $5 billion annual income-tax hike. The Democrats have dug in their heels.

Anyone who thinks this soak-the-rich scheme will solve Illinois' long-term budget crisis should have their head examined. Illinois already ranks in the top three among the 50 states in state-local tax burden, so if raising taxes were any kind of solution here, the Land of Lincoln would be a Garden of Eden.

Instead the state has been a financial basket case for years.
