You should read some research papers on who actually pays the majority of taxes. The middle class do not fund a 500 billion dollar defense fund or the billions in mandatory and discretionary spending.

You mean "papers" written by conservative ideologues cherry picked to fit the preconceived conclusions.

I've actually taken economics classes beyond high school level like conservatives do, and I've actually written intelligent analyses, and I know that tax cutting, union busting GOP voodoo economics is complete junk.

I'm sure you have. Most colleges like to push leftist agendas nowadays. There are plenty of non partisan analyses out there. It doesn't fit your angle so you ignore it or call it voodoo. Makes me laugh that this is the future of economics in America. Go communism! Kills millions every time it's put in place but don't let facts stop the "educated" class. Congrats on your university economics class. Bet you got an A slamming Keynesian economics. Haha

Went from communism to Keynesian economics real fast.

Let me guess, you took an introductory high school economics class, and think you're Adam Smith's great great great grandson, right?

Touché....no actually as a teacher of history and a wife that's a CPA, I stay current on economics.

Teacher of history? Then you should know as well as anyone about the coal miners' riots and child labor that happened under unregulated free market capitalism.

Just like slavery and many other mistakes that we have since regulated.

You realize your conservative leaders want to get rid of those rules, right?

I just thought I'd let you know that many conservatives/libertarians oppose the minimum wage.

Bro, I'm done. We disagree and that's cool. Handshake to you.

Demand-side is what built the middle class in this country. Capitalism doesn't provide for the needy, individuals have to, and they usually don't because capitalism turns humanity against each other for personal gain.
