Raising Taxes In A Bad Economy

This is not good government. But try and convince those incompetent idiots in Washington of that. Their answer to EVERYTHING is “new taxes.” They ignore the fact that every time this government (mostly under Republicans) has lowered taxes generally, the economy has improved, and the “tax take” has increased. When Reagan did it, the “tax take” almost DOUBLED. But don’t mention that to a Democrat, or even a RINO Republican. Their eyes “glaze over” and they just don’t hear you. Or if they do, they DENY it in the face of known facts. When they raise taxes, people do things to avoid them. Lower them and they pay more because they do things that create profits, and therefore more taxable income on several levels. (Just common sense)
