good! the politically correct word is 'revenues', but like so much of political correctness, it isn't accurate. now we will have a better understanding of what you mean. the two words in no way mean the same thing..

Poor kenny_troll. Another of his favorites LIES taken apart with FACTS Wars and tax cuts not responsible for U.S. debt crisis A “discourse” on the left blames it all on the right. The Toronto Star’s Heather Mallick just blamed this year’s $1.4 trillion deficit on “George W. Bush’s tax cuts and by Barack Obama’s continuing to wage two unwinnable, unaffordable wars and starting a third in Libya”. But it just ain’t so. Tax cuts cannot be the culprit because the United States does not have a revenue problem. For six decades federal taxes took an average of just under 18% of GDP and, after a sharp recessionary dip, are heading back that way. As Sherlock Holmes says, when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. The guilty party is non-defence spending and, more particularly, social programs. torontosun.com
