On December 3, 2012, Mark Toma writes in The Fiscal Times:
The Republican Party has long promoted itself as the party of business. Republicans understand the needs of business, we are told, and if the country would leave the economy in their hands business would boom. All we need to do is to give those at the very top of the income distribution – the “job creators” – more income through tax breaks, and then sit back and wait for the magic to happen. Our investment in the wealthy will produce remarkable economic growth, and everyone will be better off.
