(19,066 posts)If you invested in the DOW the day Trump's tax cuts went into effect, you've lost money. Not a coincidence.
We've seen this again and again and again and again from Republicans. Irresponsible tax cuts weighted heavily towards the rich do not help the economy!!!!

(24,414 posts)Elect Republicans whom starve the government and drive up the deficits with tax breaks heavily tilted towards the wealthy and endless spending and (usually) drive the economy into a recession with their policies. Then, people get mad at them and elect Democrats afterwards whom raise taxes back to a sane level and cut back on spending (mostly because Republicans start squawking about the deficits that don't matter except for when they say they do) and get the economy back in shape in enough time for the public to sour on the Democrats and elect Republicans again. Wash.Rinse.Repeat.
It seems like it should be fairly obvious which party is better for the country/economy in general but, surprisingly it isn't.
