Take it up with JFK who pointed out that lower taxes results in higher government revenue because when people have the chance to keep more of what they earn the resulting increased business activity brings in more to the government. No theory, has worked every time tried. Unfortunately we have a party that when they see the increased revenue they immediately set out to not only spend all of it but even more than they take in. As Dano said one time, think it was him, we don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem.
