What happened to the Laffer Curve and the fact that lowering tax rates across the board for all addresses the revenue problem for "gubmit" as well? (i.e. lower rates increase revenues to "Foggy Bottom.") Offering those buying their votes (and, their lucrative paychecks) higher taxation (or, the illusion thereof) through raising taxes is like offering more heroin to an opiate addict so he can kick his destructive habit is it not? To me, at this stage of the financial debacle we're facing as a nation, it's ALL a government spending problem. Nothing more, nothing less. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
