the REAL idea is that by lowering taxes on the rich, people will be incentivized to become rich. previously, being rich was so burdensome, it just wasn't worth it to make the jump.

I turn down offers to be paid more ALL the time. I mean, the govt is just going to take their cut and leave me with lots of money still.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

I really like this quote from a former Office Depot executive:

Quote
But Nelson said he doubted the cuts would generate significant corporate investment. Companies already need to be ruthless about lowering costs. He couldn’t imagine a company waiting for a tax cut to become more efficient. And he didn’t expect the tax cuts to translate into pay raises.

“There’s no such thing as trickle-down,” Nelson said.

Well there you have it: straight from a former Office Depot executive.

I like this quote....

Yes, I think supply side economics works. So do a great many economists.

Are you referring to such renowned economists as Gil Sylvia?

No. But I do appreciate that the "97%" crowd is suddenly interested in parsing a list of so-called experts. :cheers:

To be perfectly honest, changes to the amount of taxes that I pay will not change my behavior in any way. I will not even notice a difference. I will have absolutely no idea if I am paying more or less in taxes.

If the list represented even a significant fraction of real economists then you would be right, that would be a bit ironic.

100% this. Since the vast majority of people on salary pre pays their taxes throughout the year I would think they wouldn't notice much of a change at all. I'd almost think the annual COLA would cover the bump.

Someone with more knowledge than me, will my company automatically adjust the amount that will come out of my paycheck each month or will I need to do that?

What spending we going to cut now?

I am still holding out hope that some sort of technology breakthrough will make the military a lot cheaper to operate without cutting salaries to any of our service men and women.

It is the balance between wanting to spend less on defense while still being able to wag our giant military willy around to make our enemies quiver in fear.

Weird to me to be so ambivalent toward your own finances that you wouldn't even a notice a difference in taxes.
