Yes, Barry. The math really IS the math.

FACT: When tax rates have been INCREASED, the poorest Americans suffered the most.

EVIDENCE: In the 1930s, President Hoover dramatically increased tax rates. President Roosevelt compounded the damage by pushing marginal tax rates to more than 90 percent. The result was the Great Depression.

FACT: When tax rates have been REDUCED, government revenues have INCREASED.

EVIDENCE: In the 1920s, tax rates were slashed dramatically. Government revenues increased more than 61%.
EVIDENCE: In the 1960s, President Kennedy reduced the top tax rate by 20%. Government revenues increased by 33%.
EVIDENCE: During the 1980s, President Reagan made sweeping tax rate reductions. Government revenues increased by 99%.

FACT: When tax rates have been REDUCED, the rich have ended up paying a larger share of total taxes.

EVIDENCE: After the 1920s tax cuts, the share of the tax burden borne by the rich INCREASED.
EVIDENCE: After the Kennedy tax cuts, the share of the tax burden borne by the rich INCREASED.
EVIDENCE: After the Reagan tax cuts, the share of the tax burden borne by the rich INCREASED.

CONCLUSION:  As Barack Obama said, “The math is the math.”

Reagan and Romney

It’s interesting how Ford was Nixon’s VP who became President when Nixon resigned in disgrace. Then the charismatic, folksy Democrat outsider won, but proved to be such a miserable leader that he was ousted after one term. In 2008, when Bush was wildly unpopular, McCain was billed as running for Bush’s 3rd term and, again, the charismatic, folksy Democratic outsider won and has proved to be a miserable leader. God grant that history shall repeat itself in 2012 and that we will once again be blessed with a strong, CONSERVATIVE leader like Ronald Reagan was.

I went to visit Red Pill’s blog and found this GEM in his/her “About” section, which I recommend to all y’all. It’s really interesting!

I was occasionally able to get on-line and grab a few screenshots during my frustrations. These are those, so all a tad out-of-date.

Americans who seriously care need to look beyond tired old Democrat slogans and learn how the economy actually works. Otherwise, we’re headed into another Great Depression.

Below: Cato Institute report on the real impact of Reaganomics.  Cato is a Libertarian organization; they are NOT apologists for either party.

Cato Institute Policy Analysis No. 261: Supply-Side Tax Cuts and the Truth about the Reagan Economic Record

October 22, 1996 – By William A. Niskanen, Stephen Moore, Fiscal Policy Studies, Cato Institute

Summary

This study assesses the Reagan supply-side policies by comparing the nation’s economic performance in the Reagan years (1981-89) with its performance in the immediately preceding Ford-Carter years(1974-81) and in the Bush-Clinton years that followed (1989-95).

On 8 of the 10 key economic variables examined, the American economy performed better during the Reagan years than during the pre- and post-Reagan years.

This study also exposes 12 fables of Reaganomics, such as that the rich got richer and the poor got poorer, the Reagan tax cuts caused the deficit to explode, and Bill Clinton’s economic record has been better than Reagan’s.

GALLUP’s latest BHO v Generic poll

By Chrissy the Hyphenated

Click graphics to embiggen for easier reading.

Chrissy’s Site Bites: http://news.webshots.com/photo/2819681090056011884IislgR

This poll may explain why Barry has suddenly decided to Bring Our Troops Home, over his general’s objections, but just in time to get him lots of free press for his re-election campaign. How I feel about this is best left unsaid.

The poll, however, I can yap about with verve and perhaps a touch of panache.

Gallup notes that polls from June-of-the-year-before are not highly predictive of election outcomes.

In two cases (both Bush), there was no distinct opposition front-runner by June-of-the-year-before and both presidents polled WAY ahead of the “generic Democrat.”  One won the election. One lost.

In the other three cases, where there was a specific front-running opposition contender, the opposition candidate polled ahead of the president in the June-of-the-year-before Gallup poll.

Two of those – Clinton and Reagan – won re-election anyway. The third – Ronald Reagan – beat the incumbent.

None of the five is quite like this year’s situation, but there are clues in three of them that I find very cheering.

In both of the “Sitting Presidents v. Generic Opponent” polls gave the PRESIDENT a HUGE lead. Obama is behind.

And, in the one case where the weak, appeasing, Democrat president, Jimmy Carter, was running, his strong, conservative, Republican opponent, Ronald Reagan, polled slightly ahead of Carter, then won the election by a landslide.

Dear God, may we have another Reagan taking the Oath of Office in January 2013.
