This is the most ass backwards statement you have made so far in your attempt to defend the elitist Republican party...

How does tax revenue increase if tax cuts for the wealthy are passed?... There is definite proof that those Bush tax cut expirations will reduce the deficit...

It's called "unintended consequences". Stay with me here: if taxes get raised, less money is spent, less people are hired, less taxes are collected. Just take a peak at history and you'll see that it's true.

And I'd like to see your "definite proof" - as opposed to "wishful thinking/voodoo math". You know, kind of like the ObamaCare numbers.

The rich need to give back to the country that gave them the means and opportunity to gain their wealth.
