The economy is not that easy to understand, but common, if you lower the tax rates, you create more taxable revenue, hence actually raising taxes. If you get to keep more of your money, you're more motivated to create revenue. Common sense right? I still think you guys don't quite get the fact that wealth is not a finite resource....Its infinite, it is created, with new ideas and innovations...if it were finite, where did we all get it from?Did we steal it from marsians?Think, wealth is created, letting people keep a greater share of what they create means they create more...got it??jeeez we gotta explain every stupid little thing.... kevindurkin.blogspot.com Why are you guys so committed to raising tax rates?God its like a religion and you’ll do anything to defend it….If lowering the capital gains tax raises tax revenues, providing MORE money for social programs that you guys say you care about it so much, why wouldn’t you at least be open to the idea?
