For instanbce, he also confuses "taxes" with "revenue".
Revenue is what is derived from taxes but it doesn't necessarily follow that raising taxes increases revenue.
In many, if not most cases, raising taxes DECREASES revenue.

Taxpayers shouldn’t be fearing the forced spending cuts, they should be fearing that the CUTS DON’T GO FAR ENOUGH.

Like other things that can’t go on forever, fiscal irresponsibility won’t.
