How come…
… folks (mostly Libs) want to drive down dependence on foreign oil, reduce energy consumption, reduce emissions, and stop ”global warming” and when the one thing in a free market that will help them reach there objective occurs (higher prices lead to lower consumption), they complain about the higher prices?
… folks (OK, mostly Libs again) complain that first time home buyers are squeezed out of the market because of rapidly rising real estate prices then complain that folks are losing value when the prices drop… do we want lower prices so houses are more affordable or higher prices so that people make money on their investments.. or does it depend on who the president is at the time?
… reversing a tax cut does not equal a tax increase while a tax cut does not equal reversing a tax increase? Aren’t they the same thing spun left or right? Why is it that returning to the tax rates of the past (as HRC has indicated she may do, returning to the higher marginal rates of the 50’s & 60’s.. as high as 70%) not equal a tax increase. When has a higher tax rate ever translated into a tax cut for the middle class.. and who is the middle class? As far as I can tell.. the middle class is the cut off point whereby the number of votes purchased through tax cuts is offset by the number of votes lost via tax increases.
