Nonpartisan report that is damaging to GOP tax ideology is mysteriously withdrawn

NY Times – Nonpartisan Tax Report Withdrawn After GOP Protest

So the report says there is no correlation between taxes on high income people and economic growth. The GOP pitched a fit, and the report was withdrawn.

Senate Republican aides said they protested both the tone of the report and its findings. Aides to Mr. McConnell presented a bill of particulars to the research service that included objections to the use of the term “Bush tax cuts” and the report’s reference to “tax cuts for the rich,” which Republicans contended was politically freighted...

The Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday will release unemployment figures for October, a month after some conservatives denounced its last report as politically tinged to abet President Obama’s re-election. When the bureau suggested its October report might be delayed by Hurricane Sandy, some conservatives immediately suggested politics were at play.

Republicans have also tried to discredit the private Tax Policy Center ever since the research organization declared that Mitt Romney’s proposal to cut tax rates by 20 percent while protecting the middle class and not increasing the deficit was mathematically impossible. For years, conservatives have pressed the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office to factor in robust economic growth when it is asked to calculate that cost of tax cuts to the federal budget.

lol, these people are too fucking sad

I wouldn't trust a Republican so far as I can throw an elephant, but the shenanigans on the other side are more intricate when it comes to governmental agencies.

The bureau of stats who were clearly under some type of pressure from somewhere when last month the entirety of California's stats were omitted from the numbers. First, the reps of the Cali EDD denied it, but later it was found out they lied and the fed's admitted the California numbers were not included.


THATS why some conservative republicans don't trust liberal democrats and since in this case, the libs were caught red-handed manipulating numbers and the unemployment rate, I can't say I blame them for keeping an eye on all those commie wannabe's on the other side.

Look I hate everybody, but those dems are especially evil. Ron Paul (R) 2012.

Any libertarian that supports a republican is a hypocrite

on the one hand they drone on and on about how the parties are shit and there's no value in either party. Usually it goes something like "there is no difference between republicans and democrats... one party government!!!"

but then they vote for Ron Paul, teabaggers, etc. etc.

Maher is awesome except he's a little bit up Israel's ass

[duovamp]

I agree with many of his conclusions, but not as often his rationale. Also I think he hates old people as much as I do.

i disagree with your percentage but I'll play along; that 10% of things is usually either misogyny or racism which i suppose doesn't bother you much at all
