OK if we assume that taxes will go up and down in a cyclic pattern and when they go up the rich pay most of the increase (as usual) but when they go down the rich don't get most of the benefit then the rates for the rich do not follow the same cyclic pattern instead they go up slowly in a two steps forward one step back pattern.

Even if I am wrong, and you have made no specific argument to show that this is the case, there is no point it calling the idea "Absolute silliness... "

The only assumptions I made where not gratuitious but where following the logic of Poet's statements (even if they do not follow what Poet would actually want to happen).
