TowardLiberty

The use of statistics to make a point is flawed since statistics look for correlation, where this argument seems to be pulling causation out of them- a logical fallacy.

Tax cuts leave more money in private hands, to invest, consume or save.

This is better for the economy than filtering the money through an inefficient bureaucracy and redistributing it.

For taxation destroys the incentive to produce, and redistribution does the same. Minimizing these acts strengthens incentives to produce, and with it, the economy.

The free market is the best means of market regulation for consumers know better than regulators what they want.

Competition forces sound practice, lest loss of market share is the goal.

Self interest is socially coordinating.

New member. First post. This is the first thread I opened and didn't get past page 1. Sci Fi was asking for peer-reviewed studies to refute his claims but provided yahoo, liberal bloggers, and Facebook pictures to support his claims. I think I'm done with this thread, on to the next!

You're asking us to prove you're not an idiot.  Sorry, no-can-do.

Nope, I'm asking for proof for things that are hardly self evident.

For example: the claim that it's better to invest in the wealthy than in the middle class.

Not self evident.  Ergo, it requires evidence.  You know, more than your say-so.

Yawn

Your thinking is all screwed up.  You're INVESTING in no one.  It's HIS money. Not yours.  Your money is the money YOU earn.  Obama doesn't invest in anyone except the growth of Godvernment

Nope.  You're asking us to answer your idiocy, which gives it validity.

Proof: You have no idea what you're talking about.  This is liberal propaganda that means nothing.  By discussing this would mean it has validity.  When you learn to articulate what you think you mean, then we can discuss it.  Just spewing idiocy doesn't make you smarter.

You don't respect the doers in society.  That is a fact.

That's an interesting choice of words, given that I made no claim, but rather asked for verification of a claim.

It isn't a claim. It's idiocy.  That's the point.

Oh, so you don't believe in trickle down economics?

That's good to know.

That isn't what that is.  Try again.
