Pawlenty’s tax cuts vs. Bush’s tax cuts in one graph
By Ezra Klein

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities ran the numbers on Tim Pawlenty’s tax plan. Bottom line? Pawlenty makes Bush look like Robin Hood:



“Specifically, in 2013 the Pawlenty plan would give people in the top one-tenth of 1 percent on the income scale (i.e., people with incomes above $2.7 million) an average annual tax cut of $1.8 million — which is more than four times what they got last year from the Bush tax cuts.”

1. Pawlenty tax plan looks almost as sagacious as his MN governance with respect to inspection of

bridges. :patriot:

2. Where would the money come from?

3. From all the economic growth stimulated by the tax cuts, silly!

Don't you remember when Reagan and Chimpy gave big tax cuts to the rich, and the economy took off, letting the federal budget experience record surpluses?

What's that? Someone says it was actually "record deficits"? Nah, that can't be. If that had happened then surely the librul media would be heavily publicizing that fact. So there couldn't have been record deficits.

Besides, look over there, some gay people who want to get married!

That little cross-eyed fucker should be deported.
