Tax cuts increasing revenue has never been proved

It most certainly has!

IRS's own figures show the increase in revenue coming in.

The spending and money printing is unrelated to my point unless you're to weasel around it by adding straw man comments to it.

Looks like you're trying to work around it by attaching the other two points.

My only point it that the tax cuts resulted in increased tax money coming in and yes, it has been proven.

Go back to the Reagan tax cuts which did the same thing....the incoming revenue increased. Don't try and mix it with unrelated things.

Unrelated ???

When you hear this nonsense on talk radio you really need to think about it a few seconds before you accept it as fact. Both Bush and Reagan cuts taxes AND increased spending at the same time (printed money in Bush case) hired many new government workers. Each government worker (paid for on borrowed money) paid taxes they wouldnt have paid if the government hadnt hired them (like Obama now) by deficit spending. So tax revenues went up with the deficit, that proved nothing about tax cuts. The IRS has no data showing the origin of the increased tax revenue when tax cuts and deficit spending together increases the deficit, that is complete non-sense repeated on talk radio and repeated by the robot listeners, without question.

Obama is raising revenue by deficit spending too, so what?? He has co-opted these simple-ton arguments by claiming new health care entitlement will pay for medicare deficit. It as silly as saying “if you pay no taxes you pay more taxes.” In fact he is using that argument to for tax credits to his voters.
