No, it's a DEMOCRATIC view. But the "democrats" want to take my money
and give it to others. That's not democracy. That's the definition of
SOCIALISM. And we already know how well Socialism works. Just look at
the Soviet Union.

But then you're probably one of those guys too lazy to get a job and
wants to just sit around all day, drink beer and let the government give
you money. Personally, I have higher standards for myself.

And as the economy has bounced back, the tax revenue is UP. And as a
whole, people are better off because they have more money to spend. But
you ignore both of those, don't you?

History has proved time and time again that tax increases only work for
a short time. They boost the income immediately, but hurt the economy
because people have less money to spend. And eventually tax revenue
falls to less than it would have been with no tax increase.

Tax cuts, to a certain point at least, have a short term hit, but create
a stronger economy, eventually raising tax income.

You really try some economics courses.
