It is likely enough that Bush caused the recession of his term by raising taxes, and thus lost revenue. Furthermore, the "Clinton Economy" did not truly take off until the Republican Congress lowered taxes in '97. So yes, I am contending that it is at least possible that the "revenue enhancements" lowered revenue.

It is silly to point to current battles. If you look at the fights in the '90s, my characterization is accurate.
