Hi mags,
well, for ted to say it was partisan is in itself worse than a partisan statement: it identifies the rejection of a correlation between wealth and job creation as an opinion rather than as a fact. this is an untruth. There is no correlation. simply compare job growth and tax rates on the top 1%: no correlation. job growth and declines correlate with the economic cycle. the economic cycle does not correlate with tax rates on the 1%.
so it is simply an assertion of mathematical fact that there's no correlation between job growth and low tax rates on the wealthy.
in that case, calling the 1% the job creators is a false statement. to observe this fact is not a partisan statement. it is a truthful one. doesn't matter that an american political party repeats the propaganda as if it is true. some things are simply false.
is it partisan to assert the earth is round because there's a flat earth society?
as i say, it is a strange thing that has happened in america.
