Well Thanks for the apology MM. One problem...you are still wrong. According to the Tax Policy Center the last 4 years of the Clinton adm saw total revenue from personal plus corporate taxes go from 920 billion to 1212 billion (+31.6%) with each year showing an increase. The 2d Bush term saw an increase from1205.5 billion to 1450 billion (+20.3%) including a big drop in 2008. Face it MM...Bush did not have "record" revenue increases before or after he cut taxes while Clinton did have near record increases after he raised taxes. Please cease and desist from continuing to spout the Bush claim in support of your economic and political opinions. Spout your agnda 24/7 if it makes you feel good, but stop justifying it with questionable claims backed up by incorrect data.

Now as for explaining why I believe higher taxes bring economic growth...I can't because I don't know whether such is true just as I don't know if the converse is true. I do contend the "facts" in the numbers give very strong evidence that taxes (going up or going down) don't seem to have the effects you describe ad-infinitum!

FINITO! until the outrageous statements made by you and others on this forum get me PO'd enough to "drive by again". Good evening to all...I start 16 days at the beach tomorrow and plan to TRY to substitute oysters and booze for politics for a few days!
