Republican Magickal Thinking: Doing the Same Thing Harder 0
Steve Benen. Follow the link for the evidence (emphasis added):
A detail that’s doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves is that the policy everyone’s fighting over — the one the GOP will do anything to protect — didn’t work. Bush’s tax policy was a failure, and didn’t deliver on any of its intended goals.
The only reason that makes sense for pursuing a failed policy is that it really is about making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
This, of course, assumes that sense has something to do with it.
