taxes were lowered revenues went up. those are the cold hard facts. you want to attribute it to govt spending increases... but govt spending is always increasing.
What? Hillary claims, "government not doing anything about college debt"... Isn't that a problem GOVERNMENT created? Hillary "brings nothing to the table as potential POTUS". Her thing is nothing more than, "I just wanna be president, GODDAMNIT!!)
it happened after all the tax cuts. And when traced we see that even after the bush tax cuts the top rate paid more in revenues. at some point even a leftist has to admit that Keynes himself was correct when he said in slow economic times tax decreases can create a stronger economy hence increasing revenues. Sometimes companys lower prices to increase market share and revenue. Raising prices sometimes leads to lower revenue. I realize it takes about a 120 IQ plus to think in systems.... but I am pretty sure you have it.
The Greatest Quote! "My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked! My proudest accomplishment, in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn't do that and I'm proud of that. Very proud. I would say that's a major accomplishment." -- Hillary Clinton 11 March 2014
