Obama Cut Your Taxes, and Other Lies Frank Rich Wants You to Believe In
24th October 2010
The Other McCain does a beat-down.
The problem is that Frank Rich doesn’t understand economics any better than the president does. Neither being a film critic nor attending Harvard Law requires any knowledge of economics. For reasons of pure partisan politics, Democrats have spent nearly a decade screaming “tax cuts for the rich” as an indictment of the Bush policy, without once bothering to ask themselves whether ”tax cuts for the rich” was actually a bad idea, in macroeconomic terms.
It’s just a matter of having the right “message.” And never mind whether the policies actually work, or whether your “message” is actually true.
