    Take a deep breath. We all want lower taxes and better, smaller, less obtrusive, more efficient, less expensive government. I'm with you, now we just have to work out the details of how to get there without increasing the sales of cat food out of proportion to the cat population. :D

    If you are saying you can't prove tax cuts caused revenue to grow... there is no way you could say...

    a. "In general, tax cuts have reduced revenue over what it would have been without the cuts." (complete horseshit.. those statements were made by slate based on fantasy models. If the tax cuts had not happened the larger economy and resulting increase in revenues may not have occurred.)

    b. "The revenue increases were not due to tax cuts". (There is no way you can prove that. Why don't you use your own logic on this statement. )

    Fact and logical conclusions.

    Fact: After tax cuts revenue went up.

    Logical conclusions-
    1. therefore tax cuts stimulated the economy and tax revenues went up.

    or

    2. we are not sure about a the correlation: can't prove the tax cuts enlarged the economy causing tax revenue to grow... but we can't rule it out either.

    Your statements are the type leftist non sequitors we are seeing more and more frequently.

  3. The things you didn't want to pay for don't matter. You lost at the polls. When you win at the polls, you won't have to pay for them.
    You live in a republic. You don't like it? Move. Tax <> theft. It = who won. You lost. Live with it.

  7. You can tax my ass at whatever rate you want. I'm not some fuckin' stupid loser like you; I can make enough to live no matter what the circumstances. That's what it means to be a winner, asshole.
    As for that last idiotic statement, prove it. You make yourself look stupider every time you say something.
