Pro Corproation – Pro Rich –
Anti-People
The NYT tries and fails to find
thoughtful conservatives for their Op-Ed pages but they just cannot.
Probably because modern conservatism has no one thoughtful. The
latest Times effort, former WSJ opinion writer and full time climate
denier Bret Stephens.
Stephens writes about the fact that
while Dems are wrong to go against the great tax bill, he admits
there are some things wrong with it. Here
they are, in idiot terms everyone can understand.
There
are things genuinely to dislike in the tax bill. It raises taxes on
too many people. It barely cuts the top income-tax rate. It doesn’t
eliminate the Alternative Minimum Tax.
And this
But
here are two things to know: Slashing corporate rates — the bill’s
central achievement — is good economics. And wailing against the
bill as an American Armageddon is dumb politics, at least for
Democrats. . . .
Maybe
the current bill cuts the rate too far — or, as I think, doesn’t
cut it far enough.
Yes, Dems are dumb to campaign against
the bill. Really. If it's so popular and good why do conservative
billionaires, the ones who will really benefit have to spend millions
to promote it. Selling tax cuts ought to be like selling air
conditioning in Phoenix.
Stephens is a political idiot, or maybe
he thinks he can convince Dems to support even lower taxes for
corporations and the ultra wealthy. Sorry Bret, they and we are not
that stupid.
