GOP Axes Nonpartisan Report Showing Tax Breaks to Wealthy Don't Boost Growth

"After pressure from the GOP, a nonpartisan congressional agency withdrew a report that found tax cuts for the rich don’t spur economic growth and instead worsen inequality. Staffers at the agency tell MSNBC.com they’re up in arms over the move. And top Democrats, too, want answers.

“The Republicans have been pushing this argument that the top marginal tax rate has this huge effect on economic growth … and there’s just no evidence of that,” said one agency analyst, adding that the decision to disavow the report “wasn’t about substance, it was about politics.”

Sadly, I don't see that happening.

Mitch and the rest of his gang should be removed from office. The American people deserve the truth; this is OUR country, not yours, motherfletchers.
