Ah, receipt and outlay. What does that have to do with actual revenue?
 
This isn't about the power to collect taxes you poor dumb brain dead leftist assholes; it is about politicians using the tax code to get re-elected by duping poor dumb liberal bastards into thinking they cannot survive without Government.

We don't have a REVENUE problem in this nation; we have a SPENDING and Government Dependency problem.

Another massive pile of stupid from the moron brigade.
 
Again, what does that have to do with actual numbers on tax receipts? I mean, you know, besides nothing.

You poor ignorant fuck.

You asked: "point out a single instance where tax cuts have resulted in less revenue."

You then proceeded to cite specific years.

I provided Treasury numbers FOR THOSE YEARS that demonstrated LESS REVENUE was not only collected for that year, but for succeeding years.

Have a 10 year old explain it to you

Bullshit. That's not what "revenue effects" measures. Nice try though dumb and domer.

You ignorant twit; it was an OPINION piece that does not look at historic tables showing revenue increases, but rather a point in time.

Open table 1.1 and show me where revenues diminished as a direct result of tax reductions you moron. What you will see is that spending continues to super-exceed any revenue gains thus illustrating that we do not have a REVENUE problem in this country, but rather a SPENDING problem and IGNORANCE issue with lying liberal idiots like you.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/historical-tables/
 
Treasury Department study on the impact of tax bills since 1940, first released in 2006 and later updated, found that the 1981 tax cut reduced revenues by $208 billion in its first four years. (These figures are rendered in constant 2012 dollars.) The tax reform act of 1986, which was designed to be revenue neutral, reduced revenues by less than $1 billion four years after enactment. But Reagan’s tax increases in 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1987 boosted revenue by $137 billion.

Look at revenues as % of GDP. Dropped like a rock after Reagan's cuts, increased under Clinton's increases, dropped under Bush's cuts.

Refer to this table. See all the negative numbers? Those represent decreases in receipts due to tax bills.

Yes, we all know the "percentage of GDP trick. Let's deal in actual real numbers, m'kay?

Just imagine what we could cut from spending if all those bleeding heart Liberals would start doing personally for those unwilling to do for themselves. Funny thing is they say they care yet the first and only thing they do to show it is to expect someone else to fund programs. What's worse is they take credit as if the money came from their pockets.
