Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Charts and Graphs



This chart accompanied a NY Times piece evaluating the Bush Tax Cuts.

Basically, there is very little evidence that cutting taxes for the wealthy increases GDP growth, much less increases standard of living, the fiscal situation of the federal government or does anything but increase economic inequality.

We knew this.  We now have a nice chart.

Why in the name of the Flying Spaghetti Monster can the Democrats not win on this issue?

Oh, yeah, because they are Democrats.
