I was merely referring to the fact that every key figure in the Trump administration claimed that the tax cuts would in fact lead to higher revenues. But you knew that. What the hell are you talking about, by the way?

I know I was off point - sorry.

It’s a pet peave of mine that gets triggered whenever the subject of tax cuts needing to be “revenue nuetral” comes up.

The only reason Trump people had to promise increased revenues is because the Left dominates the conversation with their twisted logic - saying that tax cuts cause deficits.

I realize that wasn’t your point.

I'm asking for someone to provide actual data and make sure we are all using the same words.

Are gross Federal revenues up, down, or neutral before, and after, the tax cut went into effect?

Is there a huge difference between the results for income tax revenues (individual and corporate) and other kinds of revenues?

Can we properly untangle the cause-and-effect? For example, if the income tax revenues were down, but payroll tax revenues overcame the difference to yield a net revenue growth, can we be sure the tax cuts didn't positively impact payroll tax revenues? In other words, is it all that cut and dried?

I've been poking around here which seems to indicate an overall revenue growth.
