Because such logic is flawed and proven to be wrong Mags. At least in our lifetime, we can point to where the reduction in taxes has done exactly what your little paragraph says that it can't. We saw President Reagan take helm from Democrat Jimma Carter and watched as our Nation went from double digit inflation, double digit interest rates, (almost 16 percent prime in 1980!) double digit unemployment, (when such statistics were kept in a more realisitic, believeable manner); to the following:
5.4% unemployment (1987-1988); http://www.davemanuel.com/historical-unemployment-rates-in-the-united-states.php 3.9% inflation rate, (1987-1988) http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/historical-inflation-rates/ Prime Interest Rate, 1987-1988: 8.1% - 9.0%; http://mortgage-x.com/general/indexes/contract_rate_history.asp I'd say that Mr. Reagan's legacy speaks for itself.
