Liberals depend on fake math. For example

10 greedy evil billionaires make $10 billion/year combined. They are currently allowed to keep 75% of that so the government collects $2.5 billion.

1) If tax rate is increased to 90%, how much will the government collect next year?
Fake answer 1: $9 billion
Real answer 1: the greedy, evil people will avoid making so much income so much less

2) If tax rate is reduced to 15%, how much will it cost the government?
Fake answer 2: $1 billion
Real answer 2: $0. They will be allowed to keep more of their money, not receiving the government's money (i.e. "a cost" to the government) By liberal definition of "cost" it would "cost" a mugger $23 to not steal my wallet today
