"Well what it does illustrate is that over the long run, paying MORE into government does not change the employment picture." >>> I don't think it illustrates that at all. What it seems to suggest is that changes in taxation do not seem to affect employment over the short-term. >>> It doesn't address the long-term at all --- too complicated. Government spending (at all levels) under Clinton exploded (and I think we'll see that explosion continue as the current crop of "conservatives" have seen that doling out goodies is the way to remain in office.) >>> I'm not sure about that "explosion" (except in State spending)... but if that period was an "explosion", then what is this, a "super-duper explosion"? "Bottomline, the more capital that is sucked into government hands then exchanged in a goodies for votes quid pro quo, the less free we become." >>> Absolutely agree.
