The Bush tax cuts didn’t just lower revenue for 10 years. It’s clear now that they lowered it indefinitely, which means this chart is understating their true cost.

Bull crap. I just looked up the tax revenues from 1998 through 2010 two days ago. It showed that after the passage of the 2nd Bush tax cut in 2003, revenues from income taxes that averaged around $1.1 trillion from 1998 to 2003, averaged around $1.5 trillion from 2004 to 2008. I'll post the actual figures for income tax revenue and total revenue later this week when I get back to office.

That’d be great. I knew this article was BS but, looking up all the numbers and trying to figure out everything he left out or misrepresented was just mind boggling. I knew if I posted the article here, I’d get lots of info ;)
