Dick's grandson, Cox

The crowd: Club breakfast welcomes Nixon’s grandson (The Daily Pilot)
Orange County super Republican Tom Fuentes invited the political power base to breakfast at the Balboa Bay Club & Resort this week to welcome the grandson of late President Richard M. Nixon.

In Newport Beach on business, Christopher Nixon Cox, 30, addressed the breakfast conference expressing his opinions on the state of the nation and the direction of the Obama administration. “Higher taxes hit the poorest people hardest,” said the young attorney who is in private practice in New York City and is also involved in raising equity for major capital investment. “We need projects that make sense for Americans,” he added, stating, “The best way to create jobs is to cut the capital gains tax.” Cox continued, “How about a 50% tax credit on payroll taxes for businesses? That would stimulate economic growth.”....

Wadda asshole.

I'm told that Al Tello, Glenn Roquemore and David Robinson (of the IVC Foundation Board) were also in attendance.

Remember when Fuentes suggested that the "Great Park" be named the "Richard E. Nixon" Park?

Did Al Tello sit on Fuentes' lap? Was Glenn subservient enough? Did the stinky ghost of Tricky D0ick waft through the room, chased by the hundreds of thousands he helped slaughter?

Better than Barack Huissen Obama park, Chunky.

Right-wing knuckleheads should really learn how to spell - it's Hussein, not Huissen.

That kind of mistake really drains the venom out of your knee-jerk racist insult and turns it hollow.

Nixon is beyond redemption or defense.

Oh, forgive me. I forgot, he's your Mesiah.

No, not really - but you do spell messiah with two s's.

(Hey, wasn't it you last year who was so convinced that we all loved Hillary Clinton? The short-term memory of the right is amazing.)

It's Richard M. Nixon.

Did you click on the link ("Richard E. Nixon")?

Evidently, you are unfamiliar with political lore. Nelson Rockefeller notoriously introduced Nixon as "Richard E. Nixon" at a GOP convention. For many years, people would call him that just to annoy him.

Get it? Do I gotta explain everything? Even links aren't enough!

So he's another nasty little Republican shit who has only one thought in his tiny brain--cutting taxes. That's all these asswipes think of--enriching themselves while they pretend they're "creating jobs."
Shameless bastards, who should just kill themselves.

Seriously, they should kill themselves.

Chunck,

You wrote "Wadda asshole" because you disagree with him? Because he’s a Nixon? That's not valid argumentation. One would expect much better from a College Professor.

Isn't it true cutting capital gains tax and providing tax credits for businesses already has a proven track record of actually stimulating the economy?

Here we go!
Yes, Chunky, judging from above, it looks like you are going to have to explain everything!

4:43, the name's Roy, not "Chunck," and when it was "Chunk," it did not sport a 2nd c. I was reacting to the gestalt of the "Balboa Bay Club" (i.e., notorious secret hideout for OC rich) and hypocrisy and corruption (i.e., Fuentes' OC right-wing machine, now largely driven by Schroeder) and those people (corrupt and powerful and rich) arguing for tax breaks for the rich at a time that the non-rich, especially the very non-rich, are having a very bad time of it. It's disgusting, and I suppose I assumed it would strike anyone (except the people at this gathering) as disgusting. Guess not.

Aside from what Chunk said, 4:43, cutting taxes and providing tax credits is a proven method of stimulating the economy. However, because the economy is a cyclic beast there that operates best in an equilibrium of tax raising and cutting this can't be a end-all solution. Nor is it something that necessarily needs to be done right now.

Fact: Second to increasing the work force, capital deepening is the next best thing. This provides long term benefits to the economy because each worker is more productive and knowledgeable. But like just about everything in economics it is subject to diminishing returns, so this isn't an end-all solution either. But it is one of the best ways to stimulate the economy.

Now you know *star thing*.
