“The Tax Code today is more complicated than ever, and the very people on the Republican side who denounce the Tax Code's complexity are the ones that put together what they now call a convoluted monstrosity. They put it into effect.” PeopleTodayTogetherSidesEffectsRepublicanTaxesComplicatedCodeComplexityMonstrosityConvoluted Author:Richard Neal

“Living more lives than one, knowing people of all classes, all shades of opinion, monarchists, republicans, socialists, anarchists, has had a salutary effect on my mind. If every year of my life, every month of the year, I had lived with reformers and crusaders I should be, by this time, a fanatic.

“Republicans favor tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, but these had no stimulative effect during the George W. Bush administration, and there is no reason to believe that more of them will have any today. As for the idea that cutting regulations will lead to significant job growth, it's just nonsense.

“[Donald] Trump and all the Republicans believe in the theory of trickle down economics which is a theory discredited even by the author himself David Stockton. The theory suggests that if we take care of the people at the top, if we cut taxes for the wealthy, if we make sure they are doing really well, then the investments that they make in the economy and the jobs that will create, will make everything grow and it will have a trickle down effect on the rest of us.” PeopleIfsBelieveWellsCareJobsGrowsEconomyCuttingEffectsTheoryTrumpRepublicanTaxesEconomicsInvestmentTake CareWealthyTrickle DownTrickle Down Economics Author:Debbie Wasserman Schultz
“There have been times where, let's say on LGBT issues, when we were trying to end Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and I got the Pentagon and Bob Gates, a Republican holdover from the [George W.] Bush administration, to authorize a study of how you might end Don't Ask, Don't Tell, headed up by Jeh Johnson, who at that time was a council to the Justice Department.

“Maybe [the Republicans] 'll find ways around it, but the financial system of the world depends very heavily on the credibility of the US Treasury Department. US Treasury securities are what's called "good as gold"; they're the basis of international finance, and if the government can't uphold them, if they become valueless, the effect on the international financial system could be quite severe. But in order to destroy a limited health-care law, the right-wing Republicans, the reactionary Republicans, are willing to do that.” IfsWorldWayGovernmentCareLawOrderEffectsSecurityWillingDependsRepublicanGoldBasesWingsFinancialInternationalFinanceHealth CareDepartmentSevereCredibilityRight WingTreasuryReactionariesFinancial SystemValuelessUs Treasury Author:Noam Chomsky
