Higher taxes does NOT equal higher revenues: PROOF

Rilly?
Do you think that while driving on that interstate where you don't have to stop to pay a toll? Or even on the street that leads up to your house? Or when you vote and it gets counted as fairly as humanly possible? Or when you walk on the sidewalk in the middle of town that's paid for by those taxes? Or when you go to fly in the airport that was paid for by the taxes on the tickets?
Et cetera, et cetera.
Tax = theft? Leave the country. We don't need your parasitic ass.
Perhaps if we just did away with government altogether, took the little bit of money remaining in the treasury and bought everyone over the age of thirteen a six-shooter, a box on ammunition, a kevlar vest and closed up shop in Washington, we'd all be better off! Is that what your saying?
no far from pointless. Are you saying you can show the tax cuts did not improve the economy?
You keep wanting to guess away the reasons revenues went up after tax cuts.
you keep wanting to isolate tax cuts and say - revenues went up for other reasons.
but the fact of the matter is that everyone in sales and business knows that you may (not always, but frequently) achieve more revenue by lowering the price of a product. Which can mean more net, especially when your product has small to zero input costs.
We have every reason to believe lowering the right taxes can stimulate the economy... and we have 4 examples of tax cut - revenue increase.
I can't show anything, I'm only pointing out what those who can have concluded with regard to the effect of cuts on revenue.
This has been determined by those who have looked closely at this issue. In general, tax cuts have reduced revenue over what it would have been without the cuts. You keep repeating mindlessly that "revenues have increased after tax cuts." But what is your point? The revenue increases were not due to tax cuts. So why do you keep repeating this pointless remark as if the tax cuts had something to do with the revenue increases, when in fact the cuts reduced revenue to less than it would have been without the cuts!
This is the fucking problem with people like you. When someone advocates for lower taxes, people like you yell "what about the roads and police officers and blah blah?".
People like you fail to see just how much of your tax dollars are spent on total bullshit. Besides, most of the things people don't mind paying taxes for are at the local level and are constitutional.
If I don't pay for someone's food stamps I get thrown in jail. You don't have a problem with that?
