Comments on: Sounding Like He Is http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/04/14/sounding-like-he-is/ Summum nec metuas diem, nec optes - Marcus Valerius Martialis Sun, 12 Jun 2011 19:41:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: daveinboca http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/04/14/sounding-like-he-is/comment-page-1/#comment-57794 daveinboca Sun, 15 Apr 2007 16:22:51 +0000 http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/04/14/sounding-like-he-is/#comment-57794 Good to see Fred Thompson actually understands what the real issue is here. The US has a formula for growth that relies on relatively low rates of taxation. If taxes rise, as they have in the EU, econ stagnation ensues and growth stops. A rising tide....... The Dems have no response to this eminently rational policy other than to promote class warfare by stating that some incomes grow far less than others. And a potpourri of stats that no one fact-checks. Read the New Yorker to see how far fact-checking has become lost art. Good to see Fred Thompson actually understands what the real issue is here.

I guess anyone dumb enough to think Larry Kudlow is an economist is dumb enough to admire Calvin Coolidge’s tax policy. Sadly, we just don’t seem able to keep that lesson learned.
