Re: Good lord.....it's like talking to a brick. I really hope you are 12 or 13. Skeeve the Great Send a noteboard - 16/04/2011 10:47:24 PM
Let me summarize one last time and then I am done:

3 tax cuts, tax revenue increased all 3 times


And as it was pointed out to you it's a bullsh!t because you are not taking in account population grows and inflation. If you do, and calculate revenur per capita (I hope you understand what it means) than you see the other effect - each time you cut taxes revenue decreases.

Funny you mentioned WWII and 1968. Can you put tax rates at these times as well? Skeeve the Great - 16/04/2011 07:50:09 PM 1332 Views
Not really. Even if you can substantially raise tax revenue, the entitlement problem remains. *NM* Legolas - 16/04/2011 08:25:26 PM 413 Views

Have you ever looked at those projections for a decade or two hence? Legolas - 16/04/2011 10:13:12 PM 956 Views

Erm, and you think total health care spending is not getting out of control? I'm a little confused. Legolas - 16/04/2011 11:02:52 PM 1019 Views
Yes it's going out of control Skeeve the Great - 16/04/2011 11:17:59 PM 1001 Views
Good, we agree on that much then. Legolas - 17/04/2011 09:59:17 AM 937 Views
Exactly. Cutting back on fraud and waste doesn't really put much of a dent in those projections. *NM* Tom - 17/04/2011 02:31:13 AM 394 Views
