I just exlained it above. Lowering taxes gives the economy a boost, which means more money for everyone. This greater amount of money, means more taxes rolling in, even though tax rates are lower.

Gotcha. So we're seeing a "boost" in the economy, and everyone has "more money".

Ah, the famous "trickle-down theory," which is just that--a theory, and not a very well-substantiated one at that.

It not only worked when Reagen did it, it worked for JFK as well.

I'm guessing you're going to credit Reagan with the surplus we had under Clinton, even tho Bush Sr. still had a deficit when he was president.

Actually, no.
Both Bushes have been disapointing in the area of spending.
Clinton? He got lucky since when it came to spending, he was no better. It just so happened the boom had started (although granted, only slightly) and he rode the wave.

If Bush is the one spending the money, he should be the one flipping the bill. If he defers payment to future administrations, he is in effect robbing that administration of money that they could have used for other things (including tax cuts!)

OK,I'm no expert on JFK policies but his tax cuts were quite a bit different than trickle down Reagonomics. I'm not against tax cuts,just the way they have been handled under the last three Rupublican administrations.

Tax cuts are awesome if they come with spending cuts. Otherwise, they're just tax deferments (to be paid at a later time).

Exactly. It's simple, really: If you spend more than you have, you'll only get further into debt.

Clinton had nothingto do with the booming economy of the 90's. THat was all Al Gore's doing.
He invented the internet you know.
But seriously, the whole booming 90's economy was mostly because of the internet.
