"Peak tax revenue isn't the best indicator of the growth of the economy, esp. after a tax cut. " Tim, it is the measure that most tax cutters like to use. Remember the claim that tax cuts pay for themselves? But, that is ok. You don't have to admit you don't have an argument.

Peak tax revenue isn't the best indicator of the growth of the economy, esp. after a tax cut. Its an ever worse measure of the benefits of a tax cut, esp. after other factors like the ones I mentioned. Cut the nonsense! Anyone who is been in the stock market for the past 5 years knows that American firms doing business in the US and dependent on the US consumer have done so-so business. Firms that do business overseas have been hot, hot, hot and growing like gang busters. Its the rest of the world that brought us out of recession, not Bush's self serving tax cuts. I am sick to death of the well rehearsed reasoning GOPers use to justify their rape of the US Treasury. Trickle down economics means trickle down into the wealthy's bank account where it sits unmolested.
