Re: Are you serious?
I'm not blind at all, but it's obvious you can't put 2 and 2 together. I guess you didn't read the article which also explains the revenues to the GPD straight line.
I see the revenues going down at the end of Clinton's term. The dot-com bubble burst we headed into a recession, remember before 911, then having to deal with the recession during and after 911 we took an huge financial hit (so big we probably won't know the exact amount), then the results of the tax cuts increases growth and spending.
You see when you tax people more they take evasive action to offset those taxes which often leads to less spending.
