Glad to hear that you realize tax cuts increase government revenue.
Umm what?? Government revenues had the WORST INCREASE under Bush. 19% over 8 years. HORRIBLE. Absolutely HORRIFIC.

Fortunately, there are lots of links using Google to prove that to be totally incorrect:



Source: The Facts About Tax Cuts, Revenue, and Growth
You skip the other years of the Bush Presidency (where we also had tax cuts)

The federal income tax revenue went from $1.2117 trillion in 2000 to $1.4501 trillion in 2008, a brutal 19.67% increase.

Compared to the 8 years before under Clinton, income tax revenue went from $576.2 billion in 92 to $1.2117 trillion an increase of 110.29% over those eight years.

In four years under George H. W Bush income tax revenue went from $495.7 billion to $576.2 billion. An increase of 16.24% during his four years in office.

Under the 8 years of Ronald Reagan, federal income tax revenues went from $308.7 billion to $495.7 billion. A 60.58% increase in eight years

Under Carter federal income tax revenues increase from $173 billion to $308.7 billion. A 43.96% increase in four years

But it was an increase, correct? It directly contradicts the liberal's claim of the government receiving less revenue after tax cuts.

Revenues will obviously increase over time, after the initial Bush tax cuts it took until 2005 to get the tax revenues close to where they were prior to the tax cuts.

Right, because 9/11 did nothing to harm our economy or take the wind out of the sails of investors. Devil is in the details. Had the Bush tax cuts not worked there would have been no gain but a collective loss.

It took five years to get close to the level we were at before the cuts. Its the worst revenue record in history.

You always seem to skip giving a LINK to prove what you say is true too??

Exactly what part of "From 2004 to 2007, federal tax revenue increased by $780 billion, the largest four-year increase in American history" don't you grasp?

Sannity message...Gallup numbers using a different metric, do not and they qualify their numbers with the caveat that their numbers won't match the BLS numbers.

“My economic team … is helping to shape what is going to be a bold agenda to create 2.5 million new jobs, to start helping states and local governments with shovel-ready projects.” December 2008

"shovel-ready projects all across the country" January 2009

“The term ’shovel-ready’ — let’s be honest, it doesn’t always live up to its billing.” December 2009

"there's no such thing as shovel-ready projects" October 2010
