The point of the argument was that in knowing they were paying less taxes they may spend more money. Thats all. As far as the state of the economy, yes this will prevent people from spending more money on non necessities. Things are looking grim. Fact is a lot of business will close their doors. As they should. we have grown too fast and there is too much credit, and most folks have some debts. So the fact that people are going to be spending less money that they don't even have is not always a bad thing. And business' will suffer and Darwinism will prevail.

"but thank you for taking time out to tell me to shut up in a round about way. Unfortunatley it won't work. "

please dont try and explain how i tried to tell you to "shut up". Ridiculous. Overly defensive. I was asking for explanations, and making them. Instead of agreeing to disagree you seem to take the route of confrontation instead. Remember these are ideas we are discussing not each other. Its not personal. I respect the fact that you are one of the few proud folks hanging onto the sinking ship, but lets not get personal.
