Working People are Engines of the Economy. Not the Super-Rich [CNBC]
July 19, 2010The article below was published by CNBC:
Ordinary Americans are the Engines of the Economy, Not the Superrich
On CNBC’s “The Call” today, I appeared with Ben Ferguson to discuss the wisdom of extending the Bush tax cuts. Like President Obama and the Democrats, I believe in continuing the Bush and Obama tax cuts on the 98% of Americans who earn under a quarter of a million dollars. I think ordinary Americans need the money, along with Government infrastructure spending, to spur us out of the Bush/Wall Street Recession. Ben, in contrast, supports the Republican plan of borrowing $678 billion from the Chinese and your social security taxes to extend massive income tax breaks to the super-wealthy.
Ben argues that America must go deep into debt to give rich people oodles of cash because it will spur economic growth. But I argue it’s the 98% of Americans that received Obama’s middle-class tax cut — giving us the lowest tax burden since 1950 (thank you, President Obama!) — that are the engines of the economy.
Who’s right? As a matter of logic, economics, and history, is it the superrich or the other 98% of us that make the American economy grow?
