I didn't claim that. I asked is it a major indicator in a sarcastic way. Touting ebay as proof the economy is better is a joke. So if ebay does well but other big industries don't, is the economy still good? Cheney was just reaching for "proof", that doesn't mean " Republicans are trying to understand how the world is changing and how to increase the growth of American businesses". The internet and ebay have been around a long time. The economy did quite well on it until the bubble burst. To ebay's credit they did survive the burst.
And yes and in my opinion lowering taxes can benefit corporations if people make enough to get the tax cuts and choose to spend the money they get to drive the economy. Bush's first tax cut backfired because most people saved their money because they were worried about the economy and their future.
I am not tring to sway your opinion. I am just stating my opinion. You may think its wrong, but honestly I doubt we will ever see eye to eye on certain issues. Economics is your field. You are going to believe what you see and deal with. You and I see things differently. Just because economics is your field doesn't mean everyone should agree with your views. That article I posted was just in reference that not all economist agree with you and I doubt those guys went to "bad schools".
