"there doesn't seem to be any discernible relation to the low tax rates and economic performance."

If you believe that, then you need to work on honing your ability to "discern".

Clinton and Bush cut taxes. Please do some research on what happened in our economy from 1996 until 2008. The economy grew like crazy, and that was only brought to a halt when the subprime mortgage crisis imploded (and that gem was a product of liberal social engineering).

On the flip-side, how many economies with high tax rates are thriving? I can think of one, and only one - Norway. And Norway pulls it off because (1) they don't allow any menaingful immigration, and (2) they are loaded with oil, and unlike liberals here, they are not bashful about exploiting their natural resources.

Spence, before it's too late, please look at the facts first, and then form your opinion. Don't start off concluding that liberals are right, and then looking only for facts that support that conclusion.
