Good lord.....it's like talking to a brick. I really hope you are 12 or 13. trzaska2000 Send a noteboard - 16/04/2011 10:28:44 PM
Let me summarize one last time and then I am done:

3 tax cuts, tax revenue increased all 3 times (hmmm, perhaps cutting taxes stimulates the economy, but then again, going 3 out of 3 may just be a coincidence.....:rolleyes: )

2006 case study, via CBO data/estimates:

2000 estimates vs. 2006 realities
Tax revenue was higher than expected, even after the tax cuts
Spending however was much, much higher than expected, which is what caused the deficit for that year. Understand?

Funny you mentioned WWII and 1968. Can you put tax rates at these times as well? - 16/04/2011 07:50:09 PM 1069 Views
Not really. Even if you can substantially raise tax revenue, the entitlement problem remains. *NM* - 16/04/2011 08:25:26 PM 289 Views
