Wow did that ‘revenue’ bulliten stick. It must’ve come from the highest dems. ‘Don’t say taxes, always revenue’.

It makes it sound like a passive thing. They are so great at changing words to push agendas.

Please don't throw me in that briar patch!

Tax rates are already so high that the revenue doesn't increase, and probably actuallydeclines, when tax rates are increased.

When the topic is revenue rather than "fairness" or "tax cuts for the 'rich'," the actual history of the revenue booms due to the Mellon, Kennedy, and Reagan tax rate cuts has to be on the table.

Tax rates are for the government just what prices are for businesses - subject to supply and demand. Look at the advertisements, and how often do you see banner headlines boasting about price cuts! Do liberals go all doey-eyed over the public spiritedness of businesses when they conduct sales campaigns?

When they talk about "revenue," what do they say when you point out that they have already overpriced their product?
