I must be reading you wrong, here. Because almost every single time taxes have been cut, following a VERY modest decrease in revenue, economic activity has increased and the tax cut not only covers itself in short order, but revenues INCREASE.

You have really got me concerned that everything I thought was accepted by even the class-warrior types that seek to soak the wealthy agree that tax-cutting leads to more robust economic activity, and therefore an increase in revenue.

Are you making an arcane point that's getting past us, or do I read you as saying that there is a straight correllation of increases in taxation and increases in revenue?
