The problem with your equation is once again, ignorance. This republican fantasy of welfare queens is so exaggerated and has so little bearing on reality it's just absurd. You can't afford a big screen and a house if you're living on unemployment and food stamps. People who "abuse the system" are still living in poverty; this isn't Sweden.

As far as your argument that big corporations and rich people put more money into the economy. It barely makes sense. You're saying that because people buy their product, somehow, they pump more money into the government and economy because of it? So that money, makes up for the money they would be paying without tax cuts? Maybe you need to go look at how the middle class has been slipping below the poverty line under these policies, favoring the rich, before you run around advocating trickle-down economics.
