Duh. A better term for supply side economics is bubbles economics. It seems to work for awhile followed by the inevitable crash. But the new twist is that each crash transfers a huge amount of wealth from the middle-class to the super rich. Then it is time for another bubble. Boy, that is one dim bulb McCain has for an economic advisor.

The Republicans always have so much worse luck. Everything that caused poor GDP growth, greater poverty and higher deficits was always just a chance misfortune. However, the Democrats always benefit from the wise and better economy structured by the Republicans before they lose power. Yes, no correlation between results and power.

Every time in history we have raised taxes it has cut revenues.
