Can righties give up on the 'tax cuts pay for themselves' doctrine/religion? It don't work, fellas. I mean, sure there is an optimal tax rate that balances economic growth and revenues, but you can't keep lowering taxes and expect revs to go up.
The people who make these laws have always known the truth. Remember Bush called it "Voodoo Economics". But Regan sold it and it stuck as Republican holy doctrine.
It's just an excuse to keep giving more and more tax breaks to the wealthy.
