Revenues are taxes. Let's be honest. You do not raise revenues by lowering taxes. They are the same thing. CLinton and GHW Bush raised taxes to pay off the Reagan debts. Clinton got the economy humming and may have trimmed taxes a bit later, but Bush dropped them down wholesale, especially for the rich, and now we are on target for many trillions in new debt. So who pays that off? Or do we just keep devaluing the dollar and printing money? I agree that high taxes for average families and individuals make things really tough, and Democrasts are against raising taxes for them, but just as importsant as taxes is how the government is spending the moniey. If it includes basic health care, college tuition help, lower energy prices and a cleaner environment it can be a good deal. If it just includes a war in Iraq and letting corporate interests gouge us, it's a terrible deal. Privatization and deregulation invites in the gougers big-time. We have seen that over and over. And the consumers and taxpayers are always the victims. BTW, What ever happened to the Republican Revolution which promised to balance the book? Bush is the worst deficit spender in the history of the planet.
