How much does a tax cut stimulate people who lost their job?
It’s already been a lousy year for workers less than a month into 2009 and there’s no relief in sight. Tens of thousands of fresh layoffs were announced Monday and more companies are expected to cut payrolls in the months ahead.
Lots of lucky duckies at places like Sprint, GM, Caterpillar and Pfizer.
Seriously, I want these Republican Congress-critters who represent some of these districts to go home and tell their constituents they simply must increase the percentage of tax cuts in the stimulus bill, even as job losses mount. They might run into some actual “real” Americans going “WTF are you talking about, I just lost my job and my house!”
Everyone knew the GOP wouldn’t be satisfied with 40% of the package, even though they are in the minority. Enough of this bipartisan artifice, it’s not anything people outside Washington, D.C. care about very much, if at all.
We need to do what we need to do, and if Republicans don’t like it, they can bring it up at the next election.

Mr. Cynical spews:
Jon–
Are you really that big of a Pinhead???
What do you propose, more welfare instead???
The economy is complex for sure….but the idea that Government handouts and tax increases will somehow stimulate private sector long-term job growth without a horrific impact on our National Debt is wrong-headed.
We need to stimulate spending by folks with money…not try & steal money from them.
Don’t you get it Jon??
Mr. Cynical spews:
Take a look at Iceland Jon.
They were very Socialistic and now look….everything has fallen apparent.
They went from a model of success by the Progressives…to ker-pow.

@ 2,
So, we’re supposed to come up with enough in tax cuts for the wealthy so as to to compensate for the lost spending from people who are now unemployed?
I’m not sure which is more idiotic, your argument or the fact that you make this argument and manage to slip in a remark about fiscal responsibility in the same comment.
@ 3
Let’s see, Iceland, a relatively small country, managed to get caught up in the economic collapse that your and your ilk caused, yet we’re supposed to lay the blame for this on Iceland’s economic policies?

Mr. Cynical. I guess you don’t know much about Iceland. They took Friedman’s advice, and privatized, cut taxes on the wealthy, and cut taxes on big business. They just went bankrupt. Socalist? Not hardly. More like Conservative. Their problem was they couldn’t borrow any more…. I’m sure that was all Clinton’s fault too.

As far as europe, europe has a huge gas tax to promote more fuel efficient cars – is that what you want here instead?
No, idiot. Europe is already buying more gas efficient cars – why do think Detroit is going broke faster than the other car makers? Because they make almost NO gas efficient vehicles.
Anyone with a brain knows that it is only a matter of time before the monopoly on oil raises the prices again by cutting production. There is No free market with oil.
Back to the topic at hand – tax cuts for the rich are a lousy and stupid way to try and stimulate the economy – they simply don’t work.
rhp6033 spews:
Cynical, you really need to do more reading about the collapse in Iceland. It started when they deregulated the banks. Then the banks started trying to make lots of money by bringing in deposits by paying high interest rates (brokered deposits). Money started flowing in from all over the U.S. and Europe. Then they used that money to invest in mortgage-backed securities in the U.S. As long as they could borrow money at 4-1/2% and loan it out at 6-1/2%, everything’s great, right?
Of course, that much money flowing into a tiny nation like Iceland had a disruptive effect on it’s economy. Inflation soared. A lot of people were making a lot of money, but it couldn’t be sustained for long. The banks were regularly shuffling through, on a weekly basis, more money than the GDP of the entire country (exclusive of banking). Of course, the banking executives and bank owners got the lion’s share of the money.
So when the market for U.S. mortgage-backed securities collapsed, the banks were left holding worthless paper, but they still owed their depositors hundreds of billions of dollars. There was a real run on the banks as foreign investors sought to get their money out in a hurry, resulting in the collapse of the banking system. It’s sometimes said that the government then nationalized the banks, but that’s not accurate. What it did was take over the banks because they failed, and the government had a bank deposit insurance program similar to the FDIC in the U.S.
The government tried to freeze withdrawals as it sorted out the mess. European nations met to try to figure out a way to stabilize Icelandic banking crisis, but Britain muddied the works when Iceland mentioned that it might not be able to pay all the depositors everything they were owed. At that point Britain started seizing Icelandic assets to force payments of debts to British citizens.
Now the Icelandic goverment owes more money to foreign depositors than it’s small population would ever be able to pay off in several lifetimes of work. Under the threat of seizure of it’s remaining foreiing assets, the government is looking at austere ecomomic measures so it can promise some sort of repayment plan to foreign depositors. This has resulted in massive layoffs, and many Icelandic citizens have been unable to access their bank accounts for weeks, unable to pay rent, buy groceries, etc. It’s no wonder the ruling government coalition collapsed.
In short, it’s pretty much the same thing we did here in the U.S. over the past several years, with similar consequences, but even more so.
Of course, we didn’t hear that much about it, because a lot of it happened in the midst of our last election and our own economic meltdown which kept us focused on our more immediate threat. But if you follow BBC World News, you get a much more balanced view of the world than you get through U.S. news sources.
By the way, want to guess how popular the U.S. is in Iceland right now?????

Should see what has happened up in Canada. Facing a confidence vote, Conservative PM Steven Harper is trying to win over the Liberals on his budget. He has a better chance then he did back in December when he pulled a cry-baby stunt to avoid a confidence vote that would either see a fresh election so soon after the snap one held in October, or the Liberals and NDP forming a coalition government.(Rare in Canada, but it is a reserve power the Governor General does hold). Canada has had over a decade of budget surpluses, thanks mostly to the Chretien Liberal Government. The budget will be the deal maker. Harper has 144 votes, but not a majority of 308 seats in the House of Commons. SOme infrastructure spending will be in Harper’s budget, but it will be Canada’s first deficit in years. The provinces, except Alberta, are willing to run deficits temporarily in their provincial budgets.(Alberta actually requires a balanced budget).
BC has a provincial election coming up, and it will be interesting to see what happens. British Columbia has not had a snap election in years, with Campbell’s majority ensuring the 2001 law that mandates fixed general election dates at the 2nd Tuesday in May, actually works. What prevents the Tories from having a majority in Ottawa? The Bloc, they are a separatist party from Quebec, and control 50 seats. After trying to stir up fears of Quebec Seperatists after the Bloc said that in said Liberal/NDP coalition that was proposed, they would not vote to defeat it for a year, a conservative-leaning provincial party in Quebec got trounced in provincial elections, putting the Quebec Liberals in a majority.
I observed the election coverage of CBC and CanWest Global during the campaigns, both the US Federal Election and Canada’s. Seems the Canadian Media was more interested in ours, than their own. One commentator said, it was probably because of a lack of charismatic party leadership. Turnout at the polls reflected that. While we had record high turnouts, they had an appalling disaster.
rhp6033 spews:
The current economic problem is going to have to be solved from the ground up, not from the top down. Government incentives need to be focused on infrastructure improvements that provide lasting benefits generations into the future (because that’s how long we will be paying for them). Investments in roads and bridges and mass-transit brings high-paying jobs that can’t be outsourced.
Heck, I even remember hiking the Appalachian Trail, and seeing the shelters and bridges there built by the CCC in the 1930’s. All of us here benefit from the cheap power and food made possible by the hydropower projects on the Columbia River.
As I said during the last election, cutting taxes won’t help. A business which is losing money doesn’t have to worry about taxes at all. Paying 10% vs. 15% on profits doesn’t make a difference if there isn’t a profit. Same for workers – if they don’t have a job, what good is a tax cut going to do for them. And please, no more of those “loans against future refunds” disguised as a tax break.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@2 “We need to stimulate spending by folks with money”
I’d rather stimulate spending by taxing the folks with all the money and giving it to all the folks with no money.
The Republican plan of taxing folks with no money and giving it to the folks with all the money didn’t work so it’s time to try something different.
I have a simple tax proposal — just flip the tax rates for wages and capital gains/dividends, so that workers pay the capital gains/dividends tax rate, and people with capital gains and dividends pay the wage rate.

Tax cuts stimulate the economy.
“Tax cuts, when used properly, have stimulated the economy. In 1964, Congress enacted an 18% cut in personal taxes to spur growth. The legislation was designed to encourage consumer spending – many believe that it succeeded admirably as consumers delivered a textbook reaction.
According to a December 2004 article in Celtia.info, a magazine distributed in Celtic countries, tax cuts have also shown positive results in other countries as well. Ireland’s recent tax cuts are believed to have improved living standards significantly. For years, the Irish were faced with high unemployment, budget deficits and high taxes. In 1986, Ireland faced a fiscal crisis. After reducing government spending, the government lowered taxes on both individuals and corporations. Over the next 13 years, Ireland’s per capita income went from only 63% of the United Kingdom’s average to besting it in 2000. Ireland now enjoys one of the highest standards of living in Europe.
According to a May 2007 article in the Herald Tribune, tax cuts in Poland, Slovakia and Hungary before their entry in the EU have spurred economic growth in those countries.”

I’d rather have 2001 prices than Bush’s piddling $300 tax rebate. Average Americans lost far more to the inflation caused by Bush’s deficit-financed tax cuts than they gained from the tax cuts themselves. That was a case of taking from the working class and giving to the rich.

Troll @ 21 said: “Tax cuts stimulate the economy.”
That’s like saying the aspirin cures illness. It helps some of the time, but it depends upon the nature of the illness, the extent of the illness, etc. It’s hardly the cure-all that conservatives like to think it is.
Too high taxes do indeed depress an economy. But that doesn’t mean all taxes are bad. It just means you have to find the right mix between the need to provide government services and the tax rates (and structure).
Remember that Hoover tried lowering taxes in response to the Great Depression. It was the classical response to an economic downturn. But the economy was far beyond anyting which a simple tax reduction could fix. I fear we are on the brink of the same thing now.
By the way, this rescession is hitting rather close to home. Although everyone in my immediate family is still employed, several of my friends have found themselves unemployed within the past eight weeks. My bank is still stable (actually, it’s a credit union), but others around me have failed, and the brokerage firm where my wife once worked has been swallowed up. Several restaurants we frequent on a regular basis are closing their doors this week. It doesn’t look like anybody’s “riding this one out”.
Blue John spews:
Roll back the Reagan tax cuts, till the economy is back on track. Let’s have the rich sacrifice for the good of the country.
rhp6033 spews:
Remember that Reagan campaigned for President in 1980, in large part, on how irresponsible it was for government to be running such huge deficits. Of course, deficits ballooned after the Reagan tax cuts. Reagan’s Budget Director, David Stockma, was ordered by the Reagan administration to make up numbers out of thin air assuming a “rosey scenario” of economic progress under the Reagan tax cuts in order to protect those same tax cuts. In his book about those years, David Stockman admitted that if the Carter budgets had been kept in place, the budget would have been balanced by 1988.
In other words, we lost 12 years towards getting out of the economic hole by virtue of the Reagan Tax Cuts.
