Lower tax rates actually yield HIGHER tax revenue.

But the Democrats don’t care about that.

Obama explained why when he was on the campaign trail:

It’s about REVENGE.

[I am Richard Brandon]

"It’s about REVENGE"

Since this has been stated indirectly by The Bozo, and since it has been shown that it is NOT a revenue raiser but a targeting of a group, where is the cry for Equal Protection under the law?

IT is more than just revenge - it is about the RATS killing the GOP once and for all.

With the GOP in a circular firing squad between the RINOS and the CONSERVAITVES, it may very well be happening as we speak.

Lower tax rates may have some benefits but HIGHER tax revenue is not one of them! That was the conclusion of the analysis that I posted at this link. In addition, I am yet to find one credible economic study that purports to show evidence of any income tax cut that has ever paid for itself. I have posted a table of the ones that I have thus far found at this link. Following is that table:

If you know of any credible economic study that purports to show evidence of any income tax cut that has ever paid for itself, please post a link to it. Likewise, please let me know any specific numbers or conclusions in my analysis that they disagree with.
