for using terms like "bush's tax cuts" and "taxes for the rich" instead of Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, then does that mean terms like "Obamacare" are biased versions of the Affordable Care Act? Why or why not? Be careful conservatives. Because if you say using biased terms proves the whole study wrong, then any of your studies that use the term "Obamacare" are completely wrong.........just because they used biased terms.
Republicans also argued against how they formulated their conclusion from a mathematical standpoint so it entailed far more than just the use of certain terms. As for Obamacare, well Obama himself says he calls it that now also, as he told us in the debates.
So? Want to deal with the issue I brought up or do you want to keep dancing around it. If saying "bush tax cuts" is biased.............then so is using the term "Obamacare". Therefore all those bad things you guys said about the Affordable Care Act by calling it "Obamacare" shows that you are biased. Your whole analysis was wrong, just because of the terms you used. (That's if we use your own logic, but I bet you don't like it now)
Dave the study cherry picked facts and assumed almost from the beginning that taxes operated in isolation form all other government actions. This is simply not so. For instance even as tax rates declined rules and regulations increased more than twice as fast. Also It largely failed to adress the fact that production per worker during that same time frame was increasing dramatically as more and more goods were manufactured without direct human intervention. Information technology is, in certain regards, now more labor intensive than manufacturing and part of the problem now is that we are bumping into that threshhold and schools whose primary emphasis forty years ago was generating workers for the assembly line are finding that regimes designed for that task simply aren't adequate to train people how to trouble shoot an AskiII CNC program at a glance or write such a program for a CNC mill. The same is true for people whose job it is to repair all these marvelous electronic gizmos we have today. This is where all these technical colleges have come from in the last few years. To meet the damand for such workers because neither traditional colleges and universities nor high schools were producing them. It isn't the verbiage that makes the study invalid, it is it's underlying assumptions.
