That's not true at all. It might suprise you that one of our most liberal Senators Bernie Sanders wants to spend money to update our infrastructure, the problem though is that it would create jobs and the GOP is dead set against it. It took JFK to get the space program going, which if you think about it, the result have been millions of jobs.
Consider the following quote from Winston Churchill:
"We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."

Seriously? That's your angle here? There isn't a conservative around, including Churchill, who's against taxation used to build and maintain infrastructure and on research and development. That's not, however, what liberals have in mind when they talk of raising taxes. With liberals,it's all wealth redistribution and making life easier for the poor and lazy.
You are full of it.
I'll let you figure out what it is.
:lol:

There's a surprise - can't argue the content of the post,Your above post is pathetically predictable.so you have to personally insult the poster.
How is it an insult to let someone figure out for themselves what they're full of?
It's no problem -There's a benefit to consistency, even when it's pathetic.your posts are predictable and devoid of substance and value.

The economy has tended to perform better when taxes were higher than they are today
I could also ask, "Can a nation bring prosperity by massive tax cuts for the super-rich?"
Wise man, that Winston Churchill - too bad they don't make Churchillian politicians these days.
This suggests tax levels are causal of economic activity.
Also, what taxes?
Pretty much all taxes have been higher at some point in the past or another.
And lower.
Yep. And the economy has tended to grow faster when they've been higher.
Read my post that you replied to. That is what it is about.
Pretty much all taxes have been higher at some point in the past or another.
Tax rates do not create economic activity.
The fastest US growth rate was before the income tax.
No, of course not. But the idea that an incompetent buffoon like Winston Churchill is a valid argument against Keynesian economics is hilarious.
Well, if you would like to have a debate with me in which you defend that position, the first step would be to read my post and see if you have a counter argument.
