The 2008 income tax data are now in, so we can assess the fulfillment of the Republican promise that tax cuts would produce widespread prosperity by looking at all the years of the George W. Bush presidency.

Just as they did in 2000, the Republicans are running this year on an economic platform of tax cuts, especially making the tax cuts permanent for the richest among us. So how did the tax cuts work out? My analysis of the new data, with all figures in 2008 dollars:

Total income was $2.74 trillion less during the eight Bush years than if incomes had stayed at 2000 levels.

That much additional income would have more than made up for the lack of demand that keeps us mired in the Great Recession. That would mean no need for a stimulus, although it would not have affected the last administration's interfering with market capitalism by bailing out irresponsible Wall Streeters instead of letting the market determine their fortunes.

In only two years was total income up, but even when those years are combined they exceed the declines in only one of the other six years.

Even if we limit the analysis by starting in 2003, when the dividend and capital gains tax cuts began, through the peak year of 2007, the result is still less income than at the 2000 level. Total income was down $951 billion during those four years.

Average incomes fell. Average taxpayer income was down $3,512, or 5.7 percent, in 2008 compared with 2000, President Bush's own benchmark year for his promises of prosperity through tax cuts.

Had incomes stayed at 2000 levels, the average taxpayer would have earned almost $21,000 more over those eight years. That's almost $50 per week.

The changes in average and total incomes are detailed on the next page in Table 1, the first of four tables analyzing the whole data.

Now that we have looked at the whole eight-year period, what does the new data show about 2008, the worst recession ear since the 1930s, show when compared to the peak year of 2007, when the average taxpayer made $63,096, which was 2.5 percent more than in 2000.

In only two of the eight Bush years, 2006 and 2007, were average incomes higher than in 2000, but the gains were highly concentrated at the top. Of the total increase in income in 2007 over that in 2005, nearly 30 percent went to taxpayers who made $1 million or more.

Now surely some will say that it is not fair to saddle George W. Bush and those who supported his tax cuts with the economic figures from 2001 and 2008. The first would be on the theory that President Clinton should be charged for that year (just as Bush should be charged with 2009, the first year of the Obama administration). The second is on less solid ground, but let's consider it for the sake of argument.

Just measuring the second through seventh years we find that total income was still nearly $2 trillion lower than if 2000 level income continued. Stacking the deck in President George W. Bush's favor does not change the awful performance or even soften it much.

The tax cuts cost $1.8 trillion in the first eight years, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center, whose reliability the last administration went out of its way to praise. Those cuts were heavily weighted toward the people candidate George W. Bush famously called "haves and the have-mores . . . some people call you the elite. I call you my base."

In the two years since 2008, the cuts' total cost grew to $2.3 trillion, the Tax Policy Center estimated.

One of every eight dollars of the tax cuts went to the 1 in 1,000 taxpayers in the top tenth of 1 percent, the annual threshold for which was in the $2 million range throughout the last administration. The only other large beneficiary was parents with children under 17 who make enough to pay income taxes, thanks to the $1,000-per-child tax credit Republicans started championing in the mid-1990s.

Now let's look at wages, the source of most people's income. In 2008 the average taxpayer made $58,000. That was $5,100 less than in 2007, a decline of 8.1 percent.

The number of taxpayers reporting any wages in 2008 was 1.26 million fewer than in 2007, a scary figure when you consider that most people do not expect to be out of work for an entire year and that the population grew by more than a percentage point. In August 42 percent of the unemployed -- 6.2 million people -- had been out of work for 27 weeks or more, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. The average for all jobless workers was 33.6 weeks of unemployment, the equivalent of going from New Year's Day through August 23 without a paycheck.

The number of taxpayers with incomes below $100,000 with any wage income fell in 2008 by 1.8 million. Because married couples file many tax returns, this means more than 2 million people who worked in 2007 earned no wages in 2008.

Total wages in 2008 fell by nearly 4 percent, compared with a year earlier, for the 87 percent of Americans whose total income was less than $100,000. Since 2000, population grew more than wages.

Those reporting negative incomes quadrupled from less than 600,000 in 2000 to nearly 2.5 million in 2008. Their losses worsened slightly from -$64,000 on average to -$66,000.

The number of workers earning $500,000 or more in total income also fell, by just under 100,000 (or nearly 12 percent), but their average wage of $718,000 is still more than the average American earns in a decade at 2008 levels.

The number of people reporting incomes of $200,000 or more but legally paying no federal income taxes skyrocketed in the second Bush term. A decade ago it was fewer than 1,500 taxpayers; in 2000 it was about 2,300. This high-income, tax-free group jumped to more than 11,000 in 2007 and then doubled in 2008 to more than 22,000.

In 2008 nearly 1 in every 200 high-income taxpayers paid no federal income tax, up from about 1 in 1,500 in 1998.

The share of high incomes that were untaxed increased more than sevenfold to one dollar of every $166.

The Statistics of Income data on tax-free, high incomes severely understate economic reality because they exclude deferral accounts, including those of hedge fund managers with billion-dollar incomes who can legally report no current income and borrow against their untaxed gains to live tax free.

Table 1. 2008 Average Incomes Fell Well Below 2000 Level

Table_1.pdf

The one bright spot in the SOI data at Table 1.4 was that the number of people making $100,000 to $200,000 grew significantly between 2007 and 2008. Their ranks increased by 393,465, or 3 percent, to more than 13.8 million taxpayers.

This truly is good news, because most of the increase had to be people who worked their way up into six-figure incomes from 2007 to 2008.

We know this because fewer than 160,000 taxpayers fell out of the $200,000-and-up income groups. Even if we assume that every one of them fell into the $100,000-$200,000 class, that still leaves 233,000 taxpayers who joined this income group. These 233,000 taxpayers must be people who increased their incomes enough to get them above the $100,000 line. And we know that they did it mostly through becoming more valuable workers, because this group relies on paychecks for more than 77 percent of its income.

But despite that one sliver of good news about low six-figure incomes, the data show overwhelmingly that the Republican-sponsored tax cuts damaged our nation.

Examining performance against the promises, what do we find? Overwhelming evidence that the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 made us much worse off.

Table 2. More Taxpayers, Less Revenue

Table_2.pdf

Ignore the cynics who say the Republican leaders on Capitol Hill, in Wasilla, and on the airwaves care only about the rich. I don't believe that. I think they are captive to economic theories few of them understand and that are simplistic in the extreme. I take them at their word, that they truly believe their policies will produce broad benefits for all, but accepting that does not diminish the fact that the policies these Republicans promote also produce massive tax savings for the superrich who finance their campaigns.

The question to ask is whether their policies worked as promised. Have they even come close? Where is the prosperity -- and where was it in the Bush years, when massive increases in both military and discretionary spending provided a chronic stimulus to the economy?

Table 3. 2007 to 2008: Fewer Jobs, Less Money (Mostly)

Table_3.pdf

The hard, empirical facts:

The tax cuts did not spur investment. Job growth in the George W. Bush years was one-seventh that of the Clinton years. Nixon and Ford did better than Bush on jobs. Wages fell during the last administration. Average incomes fell. The number of Americans in poverty, as officially measured, hit a 16-year high last year of 43.6 million, though a National Academy of Sciences study says that the real poverty figure is closer to 51 million. Food banks are swamped. Foreclosure signs are everywhere. Americans and their governments are drowning in debt. And at the nexus of tax and healthcare, Republican ideas perpetuate a cruel and immoral system that rations healthcare -- while consuming every sixth dollar in the economy and making businesses, especially small businesses, less efficient and less profitable.

This is economic madness. It is policy divorced from empirical evidence. It is insanity because the policies are illusory and delusional. The evidence is in, and it shows beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts failed to achieve the promised goals.

So why in the world is anyone giving any credence to the insistence by Republican leaders that tax cuts, more tax cuts, and deeper tax cuts are the remedy to our economic woes? Why are they not laughingstocks? It is one thing for Fox News to treat these policies as successful, but what of the rest of what Sarah Palin calls with some justification the "lamestream media," who treat these policies as worthy ideas?

The Republican leadership is like the doctors who believed bleeding cured the sick. When physicians bled George Washington, he got worse, so they increased the treatment until they bled him to death. Our government, the basis of our freedoms, is spewing red ink, and the Republican solution is to spill ever more.

Those who ignore evidence and pledge blind faith in policy based on ideological fantasy are little different from the clerics who made Galileo Galilei confess that the sun revolves around the earth. The Capitol Hill and media Republicans differ only in not threatening death to those who deny their dogma.

How much more evidence do we need that we made terrible and costly mistakes in 2001 and 2003?

Who said "the power to tax, is the power to destroy"...?

Chuckles...Chief Justice John Marshall who struck down a Maryland law which levied a STATE tax on a FEDERAL institution - a bank in this case.

Marshall's reasoning was that the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION was the supreme law of the land and that the FEDERAL government was SUPERIOR to STATE governments. That should the States posses the power to tax in such manner they could tax the federal government out of existence. Marshall NEVER declared that the Federal government had no power to tax nor did he declare that State governments had no power to tax. Just that the States could not tax in this manner.

That said, you're really fucking stupid, douche.

They never voted to make Ohio a state in 1803. That is why they voted in 1953 to make Ohio a state. Then they claimed to make it retroactive to 1803. You're wrong buddy.

What I was referring to was that The Above is happening NOW. That this will fail, as Violence by the State always does, and so Speculators, then Pogroms, the actual War will commence.

Further, as we are now Repeating History (which is what you do when you FAIL the class;} the repetitions/spirals will come faster and more viciously.

You've been the recipient of bad information.

There was a "problem" with how the ratfication was recorded by the US Congress. It was kind of like the do over that Roberts and Obama did.

Regardless. it's still not ex post facto.

An ex post facto LAW, sanctions PAST CRIMINAL behavior in a CURRENT law. It's the counter point to forfeiture of blood.

Ohio was a sovereign state since 1803 as they voted to form their own state. But was not officially accepted into the Union by the ratification process until 1953.

Think of all those pres elections Ohioans illegally voted in, proving the ability of the state's citizens to continually act like oafs when they didn't press the feds for earlier complete ratification. But it does show Ohioans lack of ability to follow through and their always needing to be lead by the nose to do what's right..

WRONG!!!!

WOW! I could read that without my glasses and before coffee. (good morning to you too, BTW)

Who said "the power to tax, is the power to destroy"...?

John Marshall. What's your point?

Maybe, instead of trying to debate topics you haven't the foggiest NOTION of, you should do something more suited to your abilities... Like scrap-booking, or stringing beads...

Hard to believe, I know - however I do have a foggy notion of the topic and still disagree with you. What I find hard to understand is why are you so upset with me?

In the battle of ideas, you're worse then an unarmed opponent... You fight to protect those that have made you a slave...

You're confused again - let me see if I can help

What you see as "fight to protect" I see as recognizing "what is". The first government under the Articles of Confederation relied on the good will and conscience of the states for funding - not surprisingly, that didn't work out so well so they did it over.

The preamble to the Constitution says:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Think about those words. Don't they just smack of organized government (indeed, the Constitution goes on to lay out the organization) to bring to fruition the goals mentioned? Doesn't an organized government need both money and authority to carry out its lawful functions?

The founding fathers thought so because they gave the government the authority to tax, and the authority to tax is useless without the power to collect. That's just a reality.

Of course the founding fathers didn't end with the granting of power to government, but balanced that power with laying out rights and protections for individuals.

Go back to the flock... Chew your cud... The masters will be along soon emough, to FLEECE you once again.

Here's a quote you might ruminate on for awhile; "A man is not free unless his will is free, and if his will is free it doesn't matter that his body is bound".

It looks to me like you get that you aren't free but you don't get where freedom comes from. As long as your sense of freedom depends on forces outside of yourself like government, you can never BE free.

But don't expect those of us, who truly understand, to join you...

I don't know where you and your ilk plan to hang out, but the United States of America under the Constitution is not your political home.

Here's the best explanation that I can find...

In other words it is the propaganda explain it away article. Ohio wasn't lawfully admitted in 1803. Deal with it.

(the case with Kentucky, where a State was being created out of the territory of an already existing State [Virginia] that had already agreed to the separation).

It is unconstitutional to make a state out of another state.

You really are the clown on the dunk tank, aren't you?

Had you bothered to read what i linked you to, you' have realized that theae changed between Ohio's admission and Kentucky's.

But feel free to cite a source for a change. I simply laugh when you emit from your pool of general knowledge.

Watch out for earthquakes out there. My lady friend returned home yesterday and is still on the mend.

We don't have earthquakes. We have temblors.

I realize that temblor is Spanish for earthquake, but then we don't have tidal waves either, we have tsunamis. Tsunami is Japanese for tidal wave.

Funny world, isn't it?

Yep. It's MY pool.

What do you have?

Oh, BTW, inflatable pools don't count.

Nice try, but the database doesn't lie. You can't change your story now.

It's now clear why you don't read; your reading comprehension is wanting.

Again, not a big surprise.

Best for you to stick with comic-books.

I don't see post 159. Must be from one of the other shitbags on my bozo list.

If it's from war, it's not even a valid point- he's very good at manipulation. Which, of course, is why I bozoed him.

Such nuances, I'm sure, are lost on you.

ESAD.

Let's put it THIS way...

I'm so far above you, you'd need a telescope to see me.

And BTW, this is not conjecture, it isn't blowing smoke... It's FACT.

So keep in mind, when you make your amusing comments, that you're not bozoed, simply because you make me laugh at your stupidity.

You're the moron in the room, who always laughs last, at a joke... Because you don't understand. But you're still good for a laugh.

So far.

Getting tired of the bozoed calcon following me around on the 'net, wanting to discuss "tossing salad." Sorry, you sick rump-ranger. NOT interested.
