A controversy. When we deal with conservatives these days,
even science is a controversy.
It is such an interesting and useful talk; I thought I’d
link to it here, for those interested. The video covers the question of just
how taxes affect economic success, and just who are the “job creators.” Enjoy.
Of course, the claim about the automatic negative to all
taxes has long been seen to be flawed.
Think Progress points to this good chart, showing how job
#’s can improve under tax increases.
Taxation has an important role. It is no end
all, be all, but it has a function in our society. We can debate what the rates
should be, but to allow assumptions that taxes are an evil is to hold the day
is folly.
