Claiming now that tax cuts have had the necessary 35 year minimum waiting period to take effect, economists at the Heritage Foundation have now begun to claim that said effects of tax cuts from 1983 budget will kick in any day now. "The raging income inequality created was just a side effect, now, Americans will really start to see the benefits of all of this effect them in the stock market" said staff economist Charles Benedict.
This is good news to the ears of residents of working class, and Republican stronghold, La Crosse, WI. Local Teamster Randy Blackwell, member of Local 139 Teamsters Union, stated that despite his initial hesitations toward the union-busting and tax cut policies of the Reagan administration, he bought into the message eventually due to his completely unrelated message of welfare reform.
"It was hard at first, seeing a lot of my fellow union members lose their jobs, but the hope of finally reforming our out of control entitlement system drew me in, and I'm glad to have been vindicated now that the benefits of those policies are expected to kick in any day now....It's been a tough 35 years." When informed that most of those benefits will be seen to those who own stock, Blackwell, who does not own any stock, replied "Look, I'll take them at their word, I believed in Reagan, and if he said tax cuts will trickle down, then I'll take his word." This seems to be a theme we've heard in our time in town. Residents have decided that they trust the word and promise of the former presidential administration over several decades of research and data that concludes otherwise. This much is clear, in order to win over these potential voters, Democrats will have to offer something stronger than clear, well-defined economic messaging.
