Thread:Comments:Standard & Poor's lowers the U.S. credit outlook to 'negative'/And people want to keep cutting taxes?/reply

The problem is that the people who want to cut taxes can afford to stuff the pockets of politicians, take out full-page newspaper adverts, and run slick marketing campaigns that "taxes mean businesses can't afford to employ people".

If you're old enough, you'll remember Reagan's 'trickle-down economics'; what trickles down isn't money ;)
