Exactly my point. Common sense tells you that when tax rates increase, the revenue as a % of GDP does not remain unchanged.You're the one saying that revenue remains the same. I'm the one saying it fluctuates. What happened to that steady "around" 18% you kept citing earlier?Correct again. GDP does not necessarily grow as a result of cutting taxes.Ah, the unknown factor. You seem to agree with me on your first few points, then come up with some other, unnamed factor. What do you think that factor might be?Year to year fluctuations show that there may be more than one factor. When you look at five to ten years at a time on that link you posted, what does that show?Sorry, Gen, but your conclusion is just as flawed as the rest of your statements.
