ajm: I believe I am beginning to undestand what the problem is. You refuse to comprehend what I write. I do not consult pundits. I refer to the people who are charged with the implementation of the policy. Policy initiatedby politicians. I specificially do not refer to theorists, political activists, polls, opinion givers or pundits who appear on right wing propaganda media and anti-science believers. I look at the source of the links you provide and backtrack on the names of the folks you quote. If they have a consistent history of being biased or have worked for a specific industry or institution of the right or if the think tank is funded by a person or group with an agenda (Koch brothers), I stop paying attention. Look back on what I wrote. I clearly stated that these Agency or Department heads and economic advisors to Republican and Democratic administrations agree on one thing: Tax reduction does not result in longterm net feedback. The data shows it does not result in an increase in revenue. You can look at the complete numbers on the governments CBO website for the years they served. The CBO figures are nonpartisan and recognized as the arbitrator of all bills. A spending bill cannot come before Congress for a vote without first being vetted by the CBO. They are the nation's fact checker. The names of the people I offered have no reason or motive to mislead. They are Republican and are honorable men telling the truth. The theory that lower taxes brings in more revenue is a lie. Trickle down economics means only the top two percent get trickled on. The rest of us get less then nothing.
