Picture it like this. You've got a huge bucket you need to fill with water. You can either use two sources of water or one...and you're under a time constraint. Assuming they both have water coming out of them, are you going turn one off and just hope you get it filled with the remaining one?
If the house is burning down, using the hose to fill the bucket so that you can throw the bucket on the fire, rather than letting the hose run the fire sprinklers is rather stupid.
The economic engine of industry is the ultimate answer to the debacle we are in, raising taxes crushes what little growth we have, turns the hose feeding the fire sprinklers off if you will. It's ill advised and will do far more harm than good.
