^^^Still trying to rewrite history, and for what? So you can be taxed more so you can have less of YOUR OWN MONEY? I used to feel sorry for stupid people like you, but after learning your own deathwish, I just wish all that misery and poverty on you , that the liberal elites FORCE upon you. Yep you really are that stupid.You claimed revenues increased under Reagan, which they did -- after he raised taxes. Until then, revenues fell.Again, try reading for comprehension.... Reagan cut taxes in 1981 and 1982 -- revenues fell in 1982 and 1983. Then Reagan raised taxes -- and revenues increased.In reality, tax revenues fell in 1982 and 1983 following Reagan’s tax cuts in 1981 and 1982. After that, Reagan increased other taxes and revenues increased afterwards.
Revenues have consistently stayed in the 17 to 18% of GDP for a long, long time, Faun. Since Reagan was an overall tax cutter it's not accurate to claim that he only increased revenue through tax increases. He was in fact able to cut taxes and not have revenues decrease appreciatively. Spending on the other had increased dramatically under Reagan and the Tip O'Neil led Congress!
What was the fluctuation, Faun? Did revenues not stay within the 17 to 18% of GDP range despite Reagan's tax cuts? You seem to be claiming that Reagan raising taxes is what increased revenues and there is ZERO proof of that being the case.
