At its core big government, in the form of government spending, diverts away capital from the more productive sector of the economy which is the private sector.
Ah, so in your mind, if we give tax cuts to the rich they're trickle down wealth and jobs on the rest of us. Only that's never happened. Never. Not once. And we've been doing this shit for 40 years.
Kansas did exactly what you said, and the result was the erasing of a surplus, the manufacturing of record deficits, and the tax cuts were repealed last year. Suddenly, KS had a surplus! Funny how that works...taxes are cut, deficits appear, taxes are removed, deficits disappear.
Hmmm...almost as if cutting taxes cuts revenue which creates deficits.
So when the government spends money, are they spending money outside of our economy? Is there a secret, government-only shadow economy no one knows about except you?
