"Data shows that lower taxes raise more money overall."

Data skewed by right wingnuts that would rather not pay any taxes at all. You must think you're smarter than Warren Buffet!

The data actually shows that our debt SKYROCKETED under both Reagan and now Bush. When will you clowns quit selling your free lunch fairy tales?

Now, just as with pricing a product, there's a "sweet spot" in taxes that maximizes revenues. Kennedy hit it when he cut taxes from the "pay for WWII" top rate of 91% to 70%. None of your supply side clowns have even come close.

So go peddle your crap to some sucker that would rather not pay any taxes at all. It's not a hard sell, is it? It takes real courage to RAISE taxes. It's all you clownish (R)'s have left to sell.
