The left does understand how raising taxes reduces economic activity. how about their desire for increasing cigarette taxes, soda taxes? what are they trying to do? get you to buy less. they know. they know that higher taxes reduce activity. it's real simple: if you want more of an activity, lower taxes on it. if you want less of an activity, raise taxes. so if you want more jobs? it's very simple. you lower payroll taxes. if you don't want as many jobs, then you raise corporate taxes. it's that simple, folks.
Real Simple Desire
I think this was as good a democratic convention [ this was my 24th convention] as i have seen since the 1976 convention, which nominated jimmy carter.i just thought it was a spectacularly successful convention. i don't think hillary clinton's speech was spectacular, but i don't think she's a spectacular speaker.
Successful Thinking Speech
Candidates run for election on campaign promises, but once they're elected they renege on those promises, which happened with president [barack] obama on guantánamo, the surveillance programs and investigating the crimes of the bush administration. these were very serious campaign promises that were not fulfilled.
Running Promise President
The day after the republican convention ended, there was another political bomb that was dropped on the u.s. presidential election [2016] from russia. the day after the republican convention ended, right before the democratic convention began we got what u.s. intelligence agencies believed to be the next big russian incursion into our election. we got the first wikileaks dump.

I thought you liberals cared about people, but here you're perfectly content to get them addicted to tobacco and make them pay taxes through the nose and continue to pay taxes through the nose and raise their taxes. and then you try to make 'em think you care about 'em by running psas telling them how they shouldn't smoke and how they should quit. you're exactly right. if they really cared, they would ban the product, but they can't, because the revenue from tobacco taxes - i'm not kidding you - funds children's health care programs, and a number of other things as well.
Running Thinking People
When a party can't think of anything else they always fall back on lower taxes. it has a magic sound to a voter, just like fairyland is spoken of and dreamed of by all children. but no child has ever seen it; neither has any voter ever lived to see the day when his taxes were lowered. presidents have been promising lower taxes since washington crossed the delaware by hand in a row boat. but our taxes have gotten bigger and their boats have gotten larger until now the president crosses the delaware in his private yacht.
