"You seem to assume that the condition of the economy as a result of the tax changes is secondary to the short term revenue collection."

No, I don't make that assumption at all.

Rather, I SUPPORT comprehensive tax reform (elimination of nearly all loopholes and 'special tax preference items' and lowering of rates) BECAUSE of the beneficial effects such changes would have on the nation's long-term growth rate... NOT just because of any (speculative) potential 'gains' in revenue.
