Re: I take it you mean "rate of revenue growth decreases". Skeeve the Great Send a noteboard - 16/04/2011 11:26:02 PM
Yes, "rate of revenue growth decreases".

I for one find it remarkable that he ends up with such a high average revenue growth rate for the Reagan years, considering those tax cuts - even if it's still lower than those before and after.


I don't find it amusing. And let's not forget that during Bush era we lost even more in revenues but spend a lot more in total.

And now they are saying that we need to screw the poor and needy? Because Reagan and Bush Jr wrecked our economy?

How about to go back to the system that we know was working before fine (for example Clinton-era)?

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 1302 Views
Not really. Even if you can substantially raise tax revenue, the entitlement problem remains. *NM* Legolas - 16/04/2011 08:25:26 PM 400 Views
