Here's the thing.
I say Jefferson believed in progressive taxation, taxing only the rich if possible, and using that money to educate citizens and build public works like canals. I then provide Jefferson statements to prove that is so.
Cons say social spending increasing poverty. I provide poverty rates from the Census proving the biggest drop in poverty rate came during the liberals 60s and during the Clinton years. Poverty stayed the same under Reagan and has increased under Bush.
Cons say supply side (trickle down law of the jungle) economics is superior to keynesian (invest in the American people) economics. I provide percent increase in real GDP, inflation adjusted median income, etc (from the Census, Bureau of Economic Analyse, etc) proving FDR, JFK, LBJ, and Clinton leave Reagan and Bush Jr in the dust.
CONS LOOK AT ALL THESE AND GIVE ME A THUMBS DOWN. ISN'T THIS PROOF THAT CONS CAN'T DEAL WITH REALITY? HOW CAN YOU GIVE A THUMBS DOWN TO FACTS?
