She saw that this country was screwing itself from the science end to the political end, and most points in between.
Nearly everything she ever posted in the past has turned out nearly 100% correct.

Just sayin'.

And everyuthing WhoZit ever said has been wrong. There is balance in the world.

I think Rappy means that if Reps take power, they'll do all they can to rewrite history. Just like they've tried to recreate the obvious correlation between tax rates on the wealthy and the strength of the economy. Let's see: the top bracket paid 20-25% in the 20s. What happened after that? The top bracket paid 35ish % in the 2000's. What's happening now as a result?

The top bracket paid in the 80-90% (!) range in the late 40's, 50's, and early 60's. What happened in that era? Oh - ri-ight. America had strongest economy in the world is all.

Just one of the facts that will be overwritten by RapFacts(TM by Chrisisall) if the Republicans take power.

To follow up:

"You see if taxes are low, like 20 percent, as a partner in my small business I am motivated to take out our profits as income for myself. Let's say my share of the business led to $100,000 in profits. If taxes are 20 percent, I pay $20,000 and keep $80,000. I can live with that split.

But what happens when taxes are high? If I have to pay 60 percent, then I'm left with only $40,000 and the government takes $60,000. That sucks. I don't want to "lose" all that money. So, what do I do instead? I re-invest it in the business, so I don't have to pay taxes!

If at the end of the year, my tax bill is zero, then I pay zero. Instead, by plowing the profits back into the business I help to grow it and make it even more profitable down the road. I might even hire more people with the extra money I kept in the business because that's a lot better option than just handing it over to the government.

So, higher taxes don't lead to more investment and higher employment because I'm a liberal who likes to give away my money to the government. They lead to those good results for the exact opposite reason -- because I don't want to give away my money to the government.

Logic, you can't beat it. Unless of course you have a lot of money and you just buy off the whole system. And that's where we stand now, with the truth turned on its head. But the next time someone claims tax cuts help the economy, don't let them get away with that bald-faced lie."

That bald faced lie, as you call it, helped the rich to become SUPER-rich, so don't go throwing around these truths, Mal, they hurt the delusion that we, the less-than-powerful in this society have control of our economic destiny.
AURaptor & his kind NEED to cling to these beliefs to be happy.
