Higher taxes will not depress the deficit. Higher taxes will result in less revenue as people change their economic behavior to avoid the taxes. The Converse is demonstrably true and celebrated by Freepers and economists, i.e. that reducing tax rates increases revenues. Why now should we believe that increasing rates will increase revenues?
