Three Ways Democrats Could Lose in 2012

Election 2012

Drew Westen gets a few things wrong in his article at the HuffingtonPost

The current Republican party is not your Father’s Republican party. The GOP has made a genuine shift toward fiscal conservati­sm. A true conservati­ve will win every time. Wishy-wash­y middle of the road, reach across the aisle Republican­s (like John McCain) will lose.

Corporatio­ns don’t pay taxes, no matter how high the tax rate is. Consumers pay the taxes for the corporatio­ns because the cost of goods and services rises when you raise corporate tax rates. I can’t figure out why liberals don’t understand this basic economic principle.

Progressives Want Higher Unemployment

Moonbats

If there is a Obama tax increase next year, unemployment will rise. Progressives who have a “soak the rich” mentality don’t know what they’re talking about. If the Bush tax rates are allowed to expire, many small businesses will have to pay higher taxes. If small businesses have to pay higher taxes, they will have to layoff workers. Small businesses are the lifeblood of the American economy. Economic recovery will never happen if unemployment rates continue to climb.
