I should have added: there's no reason that taxes shouldn't be lower -- even if that actually decreasing, rather than increases government revenues. In fact, it's easy to argue that decreasing government revenues is a good thing. However, the point of this article was that revenues increased despite tax reductions -- and that sort of thing has its limits.
Only for those who enjoy arguing about everything under the sun. I prefer to argue in favor of increases in my income, regardless of taxes. Not everyone feels this way --some would rather live penniless and in squalor if it meant less taxes. Personally, I wouldn't mind paying an extra $thousand in taxes as long as it meant an extra after-tax $3thousand in my income.
In general, this is what's been happening nationwide.
As far as I know, cutting taxes results in increased government revenue after a few years at the outside. Every time.
If liberals really want to raise money to spend, they should cut taxes.
But they'd apparently prefer to slam the brakes on the economy, take money away from families, and hurt everyone, all under the guise of doing something compassionate.
It's madness.
