8. Tax cuts work fine. They do exactly what they are supposed to do.

What they are SUPPOSED to do is cripple the economy, so the people who directly benefit the most from the cuts can buy your house on the cheap after you've been evicted from it.

The lie they like to tell about tax cuts "growing" the economy? Yeah, that's bullshit. They know it's bullshit and they don't care. The important thing is to fuck America so they can take it over as cheaply as possible.
