That was AWESOME.

And my take-away was that lower tax rates are GOOD, in almost (not all!) cases.

That's what I was a-sayin'. A big, burly, robust, and mostly-tax-unburdened economy is BETTER, all other thangs bein' equal. I got the part about the margins, and I think you'll see that I stipulated that my own bad self. High, SUPER-high MARGINAL rates are simply destructive.

Cut rates, and we're better off. Not always, I grant you, but I never said that. A bigger economy - a product of the right kind of tax cuts - gives a bigger revenue base.

CUT RATES! It pays...unless it doesn't, like from a low rate to a nominally lower rate. But...CUT RATES ENOUGH!
