Did you read in the NYT that 9 prominent economists now say reducing taxes will improve the current economy?
Not that I think much of the fortune-telling economists who, like a stopped clock, can sometimes boast they got it right; but NYT ought to deliver un-paraphrased news to an audience equipped to consider viewpoints and reach their own conclusion.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
