As long as we're dealing with oversimplifications in a vacuum, do you have a problem with the GOP wanting to lower taxes across the board to "create buying power"? After all, if putting more dollars in people's hands creates jobs, what's the difference?

Could it be, perhaps, that "creating buying power" while simultaneously making things more expensive, is a net wash?

Yes I have a problem with that. The GOP had the opporitunity to lower taxes across the board to create buying power, but they didn't.

You need to ask them why they didn't and stop asking if they should.
