No it doesn't. Its not wrong, and not something history could show to be wrong. Its more of a definitional issue. Again the point is not "taxes pay for themselves". Its also not "tax cuts don't increase deficits". "Tax cuts are not a cost" is not the same as, and doesn't imply, or even suggest, either of those things. Not that they have been shown to be wrong "over and over again, ad infintium" (they are merely often wrong, not always wrong), but those where the point I was making. The point is that reducing what the government takes from people isn't a cost. In fact since taxation imposes dead weight loss, its a reduction in cost. It may in some cases be a reduction in costs that is fiscally irresponsible, but it isn't a cost.
