Got spare money?

Imran and I support the same candidate.



But that's been the case for how many months now, anyway.

Yeah. That's all I really care about. Nice strawman. And and out of context one at that.

First, it was good stylistically. Kerry didn't look wooden like we were warned. He looked comfortable up there and sometimes even passionate.

Second, I liked how his optimism (ie, "This admin says we are doing the best we can; I don't think we can ever say that America can't do better"). I like a President who thinks the best times are ahead.

Third, giving the mid class more tax relief and using a raise on the rates for the top 1% to pay for it is, IMO, a good idea.

There were probably other things but I can't recall them all right now.


Those were the things I would have been looking for had I seen the speech.

Didn't you support Bush's tax cuts?

Yeah, I support the amount of the tax cuts and the idea of a large tax cut. However, the distribution is something different.

The old theory goes that the rich will spend their extra money back into the economy where everyone will benefit from it.

My theory is that the rich already have enough money and will just put it into things like investments where the money gets tied up on paper and isn't immediatley pumped back into the economy.

I think the poor are much more survival oriented and would spend the money on necessities which will put the money immediatley back into the economy.

Ted Striker, right. You don't give rich tax cuts so they would spend more. They already got money. They spend what they spend. Poor people need tax cuts, they'd spend that money. Because they HAVE to, if they want to pay the rent, buy food and occasional beer.They are guaranteed to spend it.
