Revenue always increases if not in a recession. It’s the rate of increase that is hurt. But you seem to have missed the whole point.That’s because it is trueAnd now repubs cut taxes when deeply in debt.That's because we had automatic tax increases then.We didn’t have a debt problem then.Republicans always start the cuts.And trump increased Obama deficits. Bad and worse.I’m not saying either party is good, just that repubs are worse. Trump quickly increased Obama deficits.but you said he should have raised taxes to cover all the spending he initiated he didn't and he still doubled the debtExtending the cuts means the rate was not changed. Had they expired rates would have increased.That is the problem. And repubs are worse cause they cut taxes and increase spending.Deficits decreased under Clinton. Increasing taxes is the only way. You are talking small increases. If taxes increased as much as spending then people would take notice.I get it, it’s the point of the OP . Nobody will care till we increase taxes, cuts are making people care less and less.Tax payers don’t care about spending because it goes on the credit card and they get tax cuts.Fact is that repubs fuel increased spending with tax cuts.Deny what you don't know the facts.And yet you can’t deny any of the facts.History and politics not strong with you is it cum breath?Now that we are closing out another failed republican president it seems like a good time to bring up debt since repubs will no doubt put there fiscally responsible hats back on for us to laugh at. It's clear big debt started with Reagan, the guy tripled the debt. We almost had it under control under Clinton, then Bush messed that up completely. Then Obama inherited the Bush mess and spent a lot, but deficits generally came down after the mess was fixed. Now Trump inherited a strong economy and still increased debt every single year. Last year pre pandemic he managed a trillion dollar deficit during a strong economy, this year he will set a new record by a lot.
Over and over and over republicans support the same policy of cut taxes, increase military spending, and drastically increase debt. And that is what has happened every time they have done it. Reagan did it, Bush did it, and now Trump did it. And repubs stupidly believe the square peg is going to fit the round hole this time.... or are they all that stupid? Many certainly are, but others clearly love the freebies. Heck better than a freebie, trumpers got their military spending and a tax cut! Government is great!
So for the last 40 years we have gotten more and more government and thanks to repubs it costs tax payers less and less. That is a formula for increasing government if I have ever seen one. So laugh whenever a repub claims to be for fiscal responsibility, their policy has clearly lead the way for more and more debt.
Reagan had to compromise with tippy
Newt is the one who balanced the budget for a few
so democrats take no responsibility for their increased spending they just blame republicans for cutting taxes.
got it.
Doesn't it seem to be the rationale that if everyone is to blame then no one is at fault?
now you're finally getting it
No one cares about the debt.
And it ain't gonna matter before I'm dead so i don't care either
presidents have increased taxes and still no one cared.
Reagan passed the single largest peacetime tax hike in history and no one cared that he grew the debt
Clinton raised taxes and no one cared that he raised the debt
Bush #1 raised taxes and no one cared that he increased the debt
how can you keep saying that people will care when taxes are raised when they have shown just the opposite?
no they wouldn't.
because it will never happen.
No politician will ever get elected if he says he's going to increase taxes to cover all spending.
what fantasy land do you call home?
Biden said he was increasing some taxes and was elected. It’s a start.
Obama extended the Bush tax cuts and increased spending
and Obama doubled the debt. Democrat senators and congress men voted for republican tax cuts too you know
you are saying that it's somehow worse to die from getting strangled than getting shot when you wind up dead either way.
what you want will never happen and no democrat will do it just as no republican will.
so when you buy your ticket back to reality let me know
you need to do some homework
always?
JFK started cutting the top rate of the income tax
You keep saying that -
You won't answerer my question.
You won't understand this, because you are brainless -
A reduction in tax rates - Increases revenue to the Treasury.
Does not lower - has never lowered, has always increased.
Reagan, Bush43, Trump - cut rates, increased revenue.
(that doesn't work to infinity, but it has worked every time so far.)
