Harry, I also get too rough. To the rest of you I think I’ll now go into a corner and lick my wounds.

OK, I’m going to apologize to Grimgold for my ad hominem. Sorry, Grimgold…I was unnecessarily rough on you. In the future, I will avoid getting personal in my comments. However, I will not hesitate to point out when you’re wrong, which seems to be most of the time. Cheers!

Grimmy posts here at Bart’s request. So far he’s the only conservative to take up Bart’s offer of a regular column. He makes this offer every time a monkey tries to school him.

The idea that the government makes more money when taxes are low, and less when they are high, is so ludicrous as to be… well, ludicrous. The proof of the pudding is in the eating: Reagan cut taxes on the rich and the country went so far into debt that the red-ink supply was endangered. Clinton raised taxes on the rich and managed to stop deficit spending.

Take THAT, Laffer curve. What a laff.

“President Bush knows this and has lowered taxes, resulting in the good economy we have at present.
But he has had to fight liberals every step of the way who, under the influence of clueless queen bees such as Ivins, clamor for ever higher taxes and more government.”

OMFG!
This has to be a joke.,right?
Obviously Grimgold does not read Bartcop.com.
Point being that,The bullshit propagated by the republicans is based on belief and the apparent gullibility of the public in order to defend their tactics in sustaining a lifestyle
built on the backs of middle class and minimum wage earner.
If You dont love this country enough to pay for all the rights and priveledges this country
brings,then why not move to another country?
I’m sure They would love to have you.

Grimmy.

They don’t even teach the Laffer Curve as valid today at Stanford and that’s where it started out.

Ronald Reagan is dead and so is Supply Side – Trickle Down economics.

Is this post a joke? Nobody with an ounce of sense still believes the Laffer Curve hoax, perpetrated on a gullible American public by Ronald Reagan, his wingnut ideological progeny, and the idle rich who are the only ones who stand to benefit from this myth. Bart, why are you letting this Grimgold person sully your blog with his/her reactionary claptrap? I just don't see what place there is in Bartland for someone who rails against liberals, praises "the good economy we have at present," and urges us to "support the president [sic] on this, and encourage him to stay the course." Ugh. I think I just threw up in my mouth. The simple fact is that if you cut taxes, you reduce the amount of revenue the government collects. Period. It's been proven time and time again in the real world and in all credible economic analysis, most notably by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. To argue otherwise is to elevate fantasy above reality. Hey grimgold, why don't you go back to the Free Republic or whatever cave you crawled out of?
