The 3 large tax cuts since WWII.....JFK, Reagan, and GWB have one thing in common. After the cuts, tax revenue went up signficantly.
Explain?
Hint: spending is the problem, not the tax cuts. As in, even with increased tax revenue, DC spent so much that our deficit and debt still grew.
I also recommend watching IOUSA. Our unfunded liability is north of $60 trillion, mostly due to entitlements. Recent tax cuts compared to this is a drop in the bucket.

Several of those aren't as easy as you make it sound, but the import tax is a big no-no.

Funny you mentioned WWII and 1968. Can you put tax rates at these times as well?

Not really. Even if you can substantially raise tax revenue, the entitlement problem remains. *NM*

Erm, and you think total health care spending is not getting out of control? I'm a little confused.

Exactly. Cutting back on fraud and waste doesn't really put much of a dent in those projections. *NM*
