On the other hand, they mention new revenues three times in a favorable light.

I know they mean "revenues" as a synonym for raising taxes. But, given the long historical evidence that revenues change as a result of the status of the economy, and not as a result of tax rate changes--wouldn't "raise revenues" properly mean "improve the economy"?

I believe you are correct. Unfortunately there are many who believe revenue equals taxes alone.
