Republicans think they can spur the economy by reducing taxes (and those who pay the most get the biggest reduction).

Democrats think they can spur the economy by taking more taxes from the rich and less from the poor.

Both sides think they can spur the economy by lining their pockets with corporate contributions and giving companies free rein to screw Joe Public.

Sane people understand that there's nothing any politician (or group of politicians) can do to fix the economy.
