Yeah, true, there's a point of no return on the tax rate/revenue collected ratio, for sure. Higher taxes can very easily decrease revenue. But at least they screw the rich, which is more important.
The thing that gets me is that to believe, as many do, apparently even freepers, that taxes should be set as high as will gain the max revenue, you also have to believe that government deserves and is better able to spend your money than you are.
I think it's crazy, but America's mindset seems to be moving steadily leftwards.
How'd your place do on Tuesday? OK, I hope.
I agree that just promoting how tax hikes don’t increase revenue is a kind of final defense. If that’s all we were using to argue against them, I think we’d be on defense rather than just flexing our defense,.
With the way IT diversifies media, cultures and economies, I think social trends are harder to measure. For every 10 reasons I could list that we’re moving leftwards, I could list 10 to counter them.
No house flooding here, just a half block closer to the Ocean. I guess Rita missed you, how about Katrina? She at least blew a bunch of limbs around here.
