Clinton raised taxes alright - even on Social Security reciepents. Real liberal compassion
Also, he had to deal with a Republican Congress who cut spending (I wish they would have remembered that over the last several years)
Revenue went up during Kennedy, Reagan, and Pres Bush. Revenues DOUBLED over the eight years of Reagan to over $1 trillion when he left office
When you tax any activity, you want to encourage the activity so you will take in revenue. Libs continue to tax tobacco to a point where people quit or find other ways to buy them (like internet sites where the government makes zero on them)
If you raise taxes, you will make less revenue, stop the economic activity, and slow the economy
