Cut tax rates until revenues start going down again, then stop.

What’s funny about this is

OUR BLINDNESS

about the issue. We keep saying “lower tax rates increase revenue, grow the economy, and increase job growth” as if those were the primary goals. They are for us.

BUT,

if your goal is a dependent, poor, suffering, and CONTROLLED populace,

socialism is the way to go.
