JOE WEISENTHAL: Stop And Think About The Ridiculousness Of The Democrats’ Position On Taxes. “The Democrats, it would appear, would are willing to risk rising middle-class taxes during a recession — about as anti-stimulative as it gets — if it means the wealthy aren’t seeing taxes rise during this period. That’s how devoted they are to higher taxes. Look, you can make an argument that taxes on the rich ought to be raised from a deficit standpoint. And you can argue that tax cuts for the rich have virtually no stimulative value. But it’s implausible to argue that the economy would be strengthened by higher taxes on the rich, unless you use the farcical deficit hawk logic that somehow it’s high deficits causing the economy to be weak, a line of logic we know that no Democrats accept.”
