Nonsense!! As the Gipper demonstrated in the 80's, you can cut marginal tax rates, spurring the economy and actually increasing tax revenues. That's what's happening now, thanks to Dubyuh's (rather miniscule) tax cuts. I say we cut rates even more in '05, then again in '06-'08!!

I gotta get started on my project, but read the article I quoted earlier. Reagan's tax cuts made our deficit enormous, created the largest earnings gap between the rich and the poor ever (only to be outdone later by Dubya), and gave us massive debts that took two terms of Clinton belt-tightening to undo.

Another round of tax cuts for the wealthy may help you win the War on the Poor, but it won't help with the War on Terrorism.

Reagan's tax cuts led to the longest peace-time period of economic growth in history. The fact that a democrat spend-thrift congress was able to increase spending at four times the rate of revenue growth made our deficit emormous.

And the so-called clinton belt-tightening that you mentioned only came about after a GOP congress cut up his credit card.
