The failure of tax cuts for the wealthy to stimulate the economy has been shown over and over. (Just an aside: GDP growth was actually greater under Carter than it was during Reagan's first term.) Every time we cut taxes on the wealthy, we see bad economic times, as both Bush presidencies demonstrate in spades. Every time we raise taxes, we see economic growth as shown by the surge in GDP and jobs under Clinton and Obama, both of whom inherited damaged economies from Bush presidencies.

Go to those laboratories known as the states and compare California's economic growth (jobs, GDP, income) to those of Texas or, to be more extreme, Kansas. One of them is killing it and the other two are failing. Guess which one has raised taxes and which ones have lowered them.

For forty years, the GOP has had one goal: destroy the middle class and enrich the top 0.1%. Sadly many uneducated poor white folks help them do this because they hate nonwhites more than they love their children.
