RE: increasing taxes lowers taxable income coming to the government, lowering taxes increases taxable income coming to the government
Liberals always think STATICALLY. To many of them, it’s a numbers game. If I tax N number of people $10,000 more, the additional revenue will be $10,000 Times N.
They never ever think how people RE-ORDER their lives, businesses and work habits to ADJUST to the tax laws so as to LOWER their tax burden, which eventually means — LOWER REVENUE.
To the lib, the economy is one FIXED pie, where when the rich people get a huge percentage of the pie, the rest of the masses will be reduced to NIBBLING at the small edges.
They never, ever think of INCREASING the pie so that more people get a larger chunk instead of having to nibble at the edges.
Libtards are stuck in “zero sum game” thinking mode because most of them have never created one dollar’s worth of wealth. They only redistribute it.
