What it makes it look like to the average person is, "Well, raise taxes and you can reduce the deficit. Unexpected tax revenue." But the problem is nobody raised taxes. Nobody raised taxes. Don't fall for that folks, don't think somebody raised taxes on somebody out there and all of a sudden this windfall came into the government. It's exactly just the opposite of that. Kennedy did it, Reagan did it, and now Bush has done it!

Hold on, this is due to April tax returns. Let's see if this carries over to May.

A cute journalistic phrase, but not one Reagan economist supports it. At least three have disclaimed it in their books.
