"Republicans are providing evidence that cutting taxes does not equal growth in the tax base."

It is hard to prove that the Laffer Curve works or does not work on a micro economic unit such as a single state. The article also does not mention efforts at controlling spending, etc. that are necessary for the Laffer curve to work.

I believe that the income projections from the tax cuts have never materialized so the legislature has been dealing with deficits each of the past couple of years by cutting spending. I guess they just ran out of things they were willing to cut any further.
