(10,252 posts)Ayn Rand disciples. The virtue of selfishness and all that. You can ask them why it is that after every Republican tax cut for rich people (you know, the "job creators" , why is it that the national debt went up, and the economy tanked. But when Obama modestly increased taxes for the wealthy in 2009, the economy began to recover.
Here's another RWer lie. Cutting gov regulations creates jobs. The exact opposite is true. For example, it only takes 1 guy running a back hoe to dump coal ash into a river. But it takes 40 guys in a factory to clean the pollution from an energy plant. And that's not even counting the guys needed to design and build the plant, or the guys needed to manufacture and deliver the building materials and component assemblys for the plant.
Never mind. Best not to try and argue with fools.
