		<description><![CDATA[Yes, Grey proved that a table that has nothing to do with a graph I mentioned had something to do with something else.

Nor is the fact I explained what it all means, and then showed further analysis by the heritage foundation, mean anything to dickweed.

Therefore, the Government should confiscate all income and build a really, really big NBN. it would help Equity!.

Grey is a congenitally brain damaged fuckwit.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[JC


Tel proposed this for you

May I propose a rule whereby abusive language is allowed but repeats are frowned upon? I’d like to encourage greater depth of colour in the put-downs.

JC proposed I &quot;go buy a bottle of gin&quot; and &quot;stay out of it&quot; (JCs meanness to Davef last night).

Then JC you ask me &quot;you do drink gin in the morning dont you?&quot;

Listen if anyone should feel pissed off its me. You and some of your mates have me drinking
&quot;gin, creme de menthe, sherry, fruity lexia, whiskey and god knows what else.&quot;

I dont like any of those and I dont like spirits and I hate ALL reds and I hate beer and cider and cocktails and most of it tastes like garbage but I reckon you had had something last night because you are dreaming about yours and Dots monumental victory over Braggs.

Dutch courage JC?

re your comment

I dont drink anything in the mornings, at midday, in the afternoons and when and what I drink is none of your damn business either.

Got that? (and you can tell it to your mates).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Dickweed. Yet you refer to a table, which doesn’t correlate to the graph in any way. Net effects, anything. Bupkiss.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
A.  I didn&#039;t refer to a table
B.  Table two - which I didn&#039;t refer to - actually correlates to Figure 4

15 words and you managed to be spectacularly wrong twice. 
&lt;blockquote&gt;Oh wonderful, have you located the bar on the graph for the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 yet?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
The bar on the graph of figure 4.  The figure and may I quote your very words:
&lt;blockquote&gt;Figure four shows that Reagan cut taxes and increased revenue.

Shut up you clown.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Seriously, why not just admit you made a mistake?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;The effect of &lt;strong&gt;most&lt;/strong&gt; tax bills on GDP is uncertain, but probably generally small&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, because they cut the rates by generally small amounts.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Treasury doesn’t believe in voodoo economics either.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Which is why they believe cutting tax rates from 50% to 28% and cutting loopholes is productivity enhancing.

&lt;blockquote&gt;You were the one that specifically pointed out the graph.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

BTW if you read the text:
&lt;blockquote&gt;The effect of most tax bills on GDP is uncertain, but probably generally small&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Treasury doesn&#039;t believe in voodoo economics either.  Hardly surprising, they of all people are going to  know that tax receipts drop when you cut taxes (amazing, but true).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;
Reagan grew GDP, cut unemployment, increased labour force participation, real wages grew and inflation fell. Dividends and asset appreciation grew.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, all of which was a boon for the state governments, and I think real-estate taxes picked up as well (based on asset prices or something). Best of all, the states didn&#039;t need to sacrifice much in exchange for that, because Regan did it for them.

http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2004/06/the-laffer-curve-past-present-and-future

If you scroll down to &quot;A Look at the Regan Tax Cut&quot; you see it makes a big difference to the revenue picture when State and Local government is included... and he turned stagflation into growth.

Mind you, anyone can feel rich with a credit card. The Dubbya government was the worst when it comes to fiscal irresponsibility, but I won&#039;t blame that on Regan.]]></description>
