Mitt Romney is dumb in his comments about those dependent on government. The people who are hurt most by the current tax code with all its disincentives to growth are the unemployed. They are the ones not getting capital invested in their labor.
The government and quasi-government waste machine votes Democrat, that we know. The unemployed and dependent vote Democrat, partially because some don’t feel like working, but mostly because they understand that the Republicans are not truly putting forth growth policies which will put their abilities to full use.

I give a f*** what my popularity is with the gnats on this site? I wrote this for Dan From Waltham.
You must like conducting fantasy polls where the dolls in your houses answer all the questions in conformity with per-conceived ideas.
But there is no rhyme to your reason.
is that Reagan made unemployment benefits taxable income. So if your argument is that all we have to do is change the tax code, presumably to favor the rich even more, then everything will be sweetness and light, you are not being truthful. Exactly what part of the tax code caused the current economic crisis and how, specifically did the tax code cause job losses at a rate of 750,000 per month during the final days of Bush? Are you suggesting it was the result of all those tax cuts? Hmm.
I’d like to hear some of those republican growth policies myself since all I hear about is tax cuts. Perhaps they are one in the same?
Three fatal flaws and misreads in your paragraph so answering that would only deepen your confusion.
Romney’s across the board income tax cuts are simply to encourage consumption and lessen redistribution, but will not specifically enlarge the economy for everyone.
The orthodoxy on taxes from both parties is wrong, because they just seek to encourage buying of products we already have. They are just encouraging different products.
The Republicans have a few other features that make them superior economically and point to the direction we need to go. Our country has been in an experiment to see what would happen if we all just behaved as consuming units and stopped creating and developing. Political pressure to allow unlimited smoking of weed seems to be the end point of this game, where everybody just stops working and are too stoned to even get it up and produce the next generation.
The way out of this is only going to come through work, thinking harder and creating more and better.
is republican-speak for “no comment.”
