 @Gary, I owe you an apology on at least two counts. One, I used the wrong name for you and am really sorry that I had forgotten that you use Gary. I could have looked back to old posts and realized my error, however, I was sure I remembered correctly. 

Two, I misinterpreted the statement as being yours.  That is why I felt confused and needed clarification; it did not sound like you and now I understand why. I wonder if someone else reading it, who did not know you, could misinterpret your meaning? It would be helpful to use quote marks when sharing others' words; that would eliminate misunderstanding. 

When anyone writes something that seems out of character, I ask for clarity, and thankfully I did ask you. Your words always hold insights and wisdom and I value your contributions, I always read what you offer, and feel enriched. Thanks Gary.

Hey Tony! Doing good. Trying to stay out of the heat. Doing errands and such. And of course, posting on the Nexus.

Right, once we lower the taxes on the wealthy some more, they'll go right out and use the money to higher more domestic help for that THIRD home they just bought...real estate being so depressed right now...those guys are getting some great investment deals, I'm sure.

Mojo, What’s a matta with Trickle Down theory?  Gotta think, ya know.  If rich people pay less taxes, that means they’ll have more money two hire mades, cooks, chauffeurs and don’t forget illegal Mexicans to mow the lawn.  Their people two, ya know? 

 

Paul Ryan is a fine Catholic boy of Irish dissent.  He’s a regula human bean.  One of the boyz, in utta words.  That line of yores, “If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through the road to the sparrows".. makes me laff.  Most feed bags are made out of ledder and don’t have any wholes.  You gotta think of these tings.

Paul Ryan lives in the same town I live in Wisconsin.  On 'Meet the Press' yesterday I kept hearing the phrase "leadership and courage" applied to Romney's 'game-changing' pick for vice president.  I also was amused when it was suggested that now "tough serious debates" can begin. There may be an appeal to the tea partiers out there but I cannot see how people can side with the Ryan Plan for our economic future...if Mitt decides to adopt it (calling it HIS plan, I'm sure, modifying it at the edges).  From what I know about Paul Ryan, he is a supply-sider...supporting a return to trickle-down theory.  "God helps them who help themselves" coupled with "wealthy people are generous with job creation...so keep their taxes really low and don't even touch their capital gains on investments, thank you very much". Like we can count on the wealthy to throw the rest of us a bone once in awhile.  This economic plan doesn't work...hasn't worked in the past and won't work now. Tax cuts to the wealthy have not caused some sort of generosity to sprout on a collective level.  Increased economic inequality has resulted instead.  Like the "horse and sparrow theory" states: "If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through the road to the sparrows"...but not much and not when the horse is willing to reclaim what's been dumped and hoard it for himself for later!
