Even this morning on one of the Sunday talk shows, Allen West, who I really admire, sat next to some Democrat witch who kept interrupting and hogging the air. "Increase revenue. Increase revenue. Blah, blah, increase revenue.:
Of course, she meant "we have to raise taxes."
West just sat there, mumbled something about Pres Bush spent money ... The answer is "To increase revenue, we have to grow the economy. Tax increases cause the economy to shrink.
The only way to increase revenue is to CUT TAXES.
For heaven's sake, why don't Republicans say this over and over at every situation with democrats.
Don't Republicans know by now how to handle themselves in these events?
Bah!
Amen. Nothing irritates me more than when folks who are supposedly on our side miss the opportunity to say this.
It’s a no duh. After all, when a business wants to spur activity, the RUN A SALE. That’s what a tax cut is: a “sale” on economic growth. Let’s cut taxes and RUN A SALE ON GROWTH!!
“Don’t Republicans know by now how to handle themselves in these events? “
No, not generally. I wonder if Republicans think it is too risky to try and convince Americans that (a) we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem, and (b) if we lowered taxes we would reap more revenue. I wish someone (Congressman Ryan) would try to make the arguments. It might work.
The GOP is going to raise taxes. They are even calling taxes “Revenue”. It is the new lie.
And the way to increase servitude to government is to raise taxes whether it increases government revenue or not.
