cuts in tax rates have led to increases in tax revenues -- in this administration... in the Reagan administration ...the Kennedy administration ...in India and Iceland as well. I believe you can add Ireland to that list also.
But that still is not enough proof to the loones on the left.

Hah! No amount of proof is going to convince them otherwise of something they're wrong about.

After the big L.A. earthquake I bought a sweatshirt that said "STOP PLATE TECTONICS"
I don't think that many people understand it, if you get my drift.

When Democrats are criticized, they counter-attack. When Republicans are criticized, they apparently believe in "the soft answer which turneth away wrath." In politics, however, a soft answer is like blood in the water that provokes piranhas to more vicious attacks. How can we forward this gem by Thomas Sowell to every Republican in Washington???

To quote Bacon: "if it come to that, that the best actions of a state, and the most plausible, and which ought to give greatest contentment, are taken in ill sense, and traduced: for that shows the envy great, as Tacitus saith; conflata magna invidia, seu bene, seu male, gesta premunt. Niether doth it follow, that because these fames are a sign of troubles, that the suppressing of them with too much severity, should be a remedy of troubles. For the despising of them, many times, checks them best; and the going about to stop them, doth but make a wonder long- lived."
"The motion of factions, under kings, ought to be like the motions (as the astronomers speak) of inferior orbs; which may have their proper motions, but still, are carried by the highest motion of primum mobile"

Amid all the media hysteria over the price of gasoline and the profits of "Big Oil," one simple fact has been repeatedly overlooked: The oil companies' earnings are just under 10 percent of the price of a gallon of gas, while taxes take 17 percent. Yet who ever accuses the government of "greed"?
When the University of California system and the California State University system raised their tuitions, the headline in the San Francisco Chronicle read: "UC, CSU Reach Again for Students' Wallets." Apparently you are only supposed to reach for the taxpayers' wallets.
Government greed something that no one ever seems to mention in the MSM.
