    yeah right... when you see someone lumping these into one group instead of showing which study was actually did not show growth... you know know you are dealing with leftist slant..
    "mischaracterized, exagerated or selectively described six of those 19."

    what a bunch of bullshit... I was the one who taught the curve to you and your leftist buddies. I had to prove it by arguing to the extremes and then walk it back down the curve. you can check it you like.

    I had time to click the link.
    They did review at least some of the 6 studies.

    I think there scoring was a bit off.

    for instance... here is one study they had a problem with. I am not sure why... because it seems to clearly be consistent with the idea taxes hurt growth.


    Michael Bleaney, Norman Gemmell, and Richard Kneller, “Testing the Endogenous Growth Model: Public Expenditure, Taxation, and Growth over the Long Run,” Canadian Journal of Economics, 2001

    Like Miller and Russek’s paper, this paper emphasizes the importance of evaluating the effects of taxes and spending together. When viewed in isolation, taxes can weaken economic growth, but using taxes to fund productive government spending can offset this negative impact.
