One of the many quaint beliefs the Left has about the US is that it's a relatively low-tax country

The US is not a low tax country, and does a much worse job spending and allocating its tax revenue.

Daddy was all on board with the tax cut bill when everything seemed to be going fine. Growing deficits in fat times, just like the "swamp GOP".UW_Doog_Bot said:

I'm impressed you agree with the criticism most here have of the swamp GOP.HHusky said:
There are differences between large and small deficits and good and bad economies too. The GOP has run up massive deficits when the economy was humming; its claims to fiscal prudence require we ignore its recent history.UW_Doog_Bot said:

So we can get nothing good in return. Genius!HHusky said:
We're not a high tax country, at all. We do need to raise taxes without even considering any new discretionary spending, which will also happen . . . under either party.SFGbob said:
No, he is saying that we need to raise taxes even higher.UW_Doog_Bot said:So then we've agreed that the US is a high tax country that we get little in return for.
H is just stating there's no way to fix it.
Sounds like a hell of an argument for not passing any future spending. We can at least shrink government as a % of gdp that way.
There is no political will to shrink government.
Good job, good effort.
Kind of at odds with your defense of Liz though.
But daddy!
Welcome to 2021. Care to discuss the current trillions in entitlement stimulus for an economy that is already overheated with inflation?
How is your support for Daddy not responsive?
Yeah, sure, there's literally no difference in any government spending or context whatsoever. 1 trillion on infrastructure in a recession vs. 3 trillion on entitlements during stagflation. Send out the checks for $1,000,000 because it's all the same.
I mean, I guess we've established you are bad at economics but this is right there with oil production doesn't effect price. -
Tax cuts are literally part of how you shrink government but sure, good argument?HHusky said:

Are you going to go ahead with the "how do we pay for tax cuts" fallacy next? -

H has no interest in Biden or current events
Daddy issues are severe -
Too bad Ross Perot is dead.
That motherfucker explained government finance/deficits/debt better than any human over the past 100 years. -

100% this. Add up all the fed, state, and local level taxes and the tax burden goes way up.</blockquote
If you are even gainfully employed you see about half of your take home go to taxes. 20-30% goes away to payroll taxes. 20% of your heat and light bills are taxes. 15% of your rent or mortgage payment goes to pay property taxes. 30% of your gasoline cost goes to taxes.
And then we have the indirect taxes. For everything else that you buy has a cost built into it to cover the taxes that the business pays. -
You guys made HHusky angry, Biden is fucking with his mojo.

Is this where we drop our 941s and 1120S filings on the table or would you rather see a FY2020 P&L and figure it out for yourself?HHusky said:

I'm really disappointed in you ladies. This is one of your favorite subjects, that we're not taxed enough. Did your booster shot have some side effects?HHusky said:

H is such a big shot lawyer he fails to understand most blue states have income tax on top of federal income tax. So worldly that one.thechatch said:
