Thompson Taxing Democracy: Politics and the Bush Tax Cut by Michael J. Thompson The science of economics is a political science. —Max Weber ew domestic political issues have been debated with more passion than Fthe tax cut that was proposed by the Bush administration and recently passed by Congress. The tax cuts have been characterized as everything from a giveaway to the rich to a stimulus package for an ailing economy. Political rhetoric frequently coalesces with “social science,” statistics and economic argumentation, but—interestingly enough—the political character of decision-making on tax policy has tended to disappear from the public debate. What I think is happening, however, is not simply a rethinking of tax codes or a move away from the redistributional character of the post-war American welfare state.

MONDAY JUNE 18 Movie Nights on the Elevated Acre presented in association with Tribeca Film Stella Days (2012) June 18, 8PM The Elevated Acre, 55 Water St. A small town cinema in rural Ireland becomes the setting for a dramatic struggle between faith and passion, Rome and Hollywood, and a man and his conscience. Martin Sheen stars as a priest in Stella Days, which encapsulates the dilemma of Ireland in the mid-1950’s – on the cusp of the modern but still clinging to the traditions of the church.
