Referring to the above quote

"Give tax cuts to middle class (Democrats), they will spend SOME OF THEIR TAX CUTS and save the remainder"

Is he trying to claim that most of the middle class are Dems? What planet is he on? Look to the economic extremes and there you will find the most dems. The non taxpayers and the ultra rich. Neither are in reality.

Printing money won't be helpful to our economy or for your children/grandchildren/greatgrandchildren.......

Raising taxes is a proven mistake. Entitlements growing at huge rates and increasing the deficit are a proven mistake.

Best take heed Obama fans...

The tax most often discussed is the income tax. The people earning that moeny are BUSINESSMEN and women. More taxes makes their business less profitable...and then they hire less and invest less. Jimmy P. has a column because he understands these things and provides fodder for intellignet discussion. You, on the other hand, are just an angry liberal that doesn't have a clue about what drives economies.
