The fact is that when Reagan cut taxes for the rich and privatized more of the federal government, the wealthy invested in private enterprises funded by taxpayer dollars.
By definition, an enterprise funded by taxpayer dollars isn't entirely private. Try again.
Why don't they point out that using the definition of fairness proposed by Republicans, all taxes are unfair. After all, even under a flat tax a person earning $1 million/year would pay 10x as much as a person earning $100k/year for the same government services. If you want fairness, either have everyone pay the same dollar amount or look elsewhere, as pointed out in my first paragraph.
Because that's not how Republicans/conservatives define fairness when we talk about a flat tax. Stick to what we mean when we say it and try and create your argument from there, primitive.
The Democrats should ask people what they think will happen if we cut food and shelter for the poor, many of whom are disabled or mentally ill.
They would be taken care of by individuals or groups in individuals through non-profit charitable means within the private sector. Why must everything be done via the gov't?
Before "Democrats" try and educate the public, they night try educating themselves first.
