Do you know the difference between static and dynamic scoring? Tax cuts don’t automatically mean more revenue. Depends on whether said tax cuts stimulate the economy enough to put people that paid no Federal Taxes into a bracket where they do. Also millions more jobs mean more people paying in. I don’t believe tax cuts can get us out of the mess we are in. Likewise I don’t believe tax hikes will do it. We need too not just slow the growth of government spending. We must drastically cut govt spending. I don’t believe the congress will ever do it. No matter who’s in charge.

That’s just dumb. If tax cuts end up putting more money in the Treasury they also put more money in individual pockets. If extra revenue was received I’d love to see the Congress pigs pay down debt. Yea right.

So, where are we on the Laffer curve? And how do you know? You are just assuming that taxes are too high and hindering economic growth. The recent history of the Reagan and Bush tax cuts show that they did not pay for themselves even with dynamic scoring.

The Reagan tax cuts actually brought more revenue into the treasury than ever before. The congress just spent more. Never said taxes are to high. I’d personally love a tax cut. Why is it you lefty’s lose it over tax cuts but never a peep about all the money spent (and wasted) on QE1, QE2, cash for clunkers, Solyndra, bank and insurance bailouts, Medicare and Medicaid fraud, food stamps, and hundreds of other Federal programs? Only thing I ever hear from you guys on how to spur the economy is raise taxes on the rich and cut the military to the bone. Never a solution. Just moan about fair share and all the lefty talking points. How would you jumpstart the economy?

Ve'hoe

and that was under obama and a great tax increase,,,, "wut happind theyr" ,,,, genius?

Under obama,,,,, and his tax plan the rich got muuuuuch richer,,, and the poor got muuuuuuch poorer,, blacks doing the worst of all............


Man what a mystery........... and revenues went down...... recession came up,,,, and stayed,,, and stayed,,,,,, and stayed.........


HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Revenue neutral is you problem,,,,, spending has to stop,,,, there isnt any neutrality,,,, the govt needs to cut their spending,,,,,,, that is where the reductions come from,, not from collections of taxes, nor wages of the middle class,,,,, from the "gubmint"


Have you found the JFK qoute genius?????

Ve'hoe

"paying for themselves" isnt the responsibility of a tax cut,,,,, congress doesnt want to give back any of the money,,,,,

Congress was never meant to determine who got what,,, how much you are "allowed" to make,,,,, nor the bullsh-t leftist theological idea that ,,,, a tax cut MUST keep the same govt spending level........

What happens when you buy into that fallacy is that you allow the govt,,, congress with less than 10% approval rating to determine how much of your money they get to take and keep.........

Taxes are not collected to pay congresses debts,,,, they are the servants,,, and the people the owners,,,,, that is whats wrong with leftist theology,,,,,,, taxes are not "owed",,,,,

And here is the kennedy quote,,,, from Arkansas,,,, since you are "cognitively dyslexic"

Here is WHY JFK was there,,,

"So those are some of the reasons why I am here today. But the most significant reason is, of course, because of your distinguished Congressman who is chairman of the most influential committee, the Ways and Means Committee of the House, which just 10 days ago passed through by an overwhelming vote a tax reform and reduction bill which I think can do much for this State and other States in maintaining its steadily expanding economy. It said in the New York Times this morning that if Congressman Mills suggested it, that the President would be glad to come down here and dedicate this dam and sing "Down By the Old Mill Stream," or any other request that was made--and I would be delighted.

It is a fact that in the last 3 years legislation dealing with tax reform, legislation dealing with the most far-reaching reform of our tariffs, which permit us to trade abroad-and there is no State in the Union which depends more on foreign trade for its prosperity than this State--I think it is important that you in Arkansas realize that the decision that you make in electing your Congressmen and Senators has an influence not only on the lives of the people of this State, but also on the lives of the people of the entire country. And I think this State can take the greatest pride and satisfaction in the way it has met this great responsibility in the people it sent to deal with the Nation's business.

.....As this State's income rises, so does the income of Michigan. As the income of Michigan rises, so does the income of the United States. A rising tide lifts all the boats and as Arkansas becomes more prosperous so does the United States and as this section declines so does the United States. So I regard this as an investment by the people of the United States in the United States."

He was there as a reward for the tax cuts,,, promoting the wealth it would bring, to all states,,,,,,

so much for your research,,,, wrong on both accounts,,,,,, dont let facts bother you though,,,,,

I know facts dont fit into the leftist theology of socialist govt behaviors,,,,,,, too bad JFK died,,, he was the last intelligent dem,,,,,

Killed by a leftist, who thinks like you..... interesting huh??

I suggest you start thinking out of your arse,,,,,, your brains dont seem sufficient to support life

There are indications that inflation is increasing. A tax cut is to inflation as gasoline is to a camp fire.

Ve'hoe

inflation has to increase,,,, it has been artificially held down for far too long

My dog ate the Scrabble tiles the other day, and now its poop makes more sense than you.
