Ain't it funny? Lil' davieboy can never defend himself? Always gotta have somebody pulling for him on the outside. Like Joe, or Mis Lil, or mallcontent. Never fails. He can never sit by himself here or on other poster boards without someone posting for him. What a weak and little effeminate being!


BS, just defend your own garbled post. 

Stench isn't making it for you. 

The mythical davieboy does better.


And ....there, we have it again. Davieboy defended by someone else. Not big enough to stand for himself. Always needing his big brother or niece to help defend him. Mallcontent...give it up.....you have no idea how wussie the boy is. Besides, if you don't know who he is, like has been inferred, why the effort? You folks have always been burned! He's a loser. He even got banned from sassy55.proboards.com.


Wussie or not, he defends his posts better than the BS.   Will you get around to it some day?

While you're at it, lets see the math that proves reducing sales tax and income tax increases tax revenue.   You've been slow on that one too.


Beacause it fosters increased sales across the board. If people have more money, they spend more money. It's the American way.


Can't argue with the part about "If people have more money, they spend more money".   But where is the increased tax revenue?   Give us some numbers please.

Let me state that I am NOT speaking for BB - but this might answer your question about the increased tax revenue. I took this from a letter to the editor in today's QC Times - 7/2/11 - which you can check at QCTimes.com

 

"In 1998, with a population of 270 million, the U.S. generated personal federal income taxes of $783 billion. The marginal tax rate was 39.6 percent and the capital gains rate was 25%.

In 2007, when the marinal rate was 35 percent and capital gains rate was 15 percent, the U.S. population was 301 million - up 11.5 percent over 1998. Yet Federal Personal Income taxes were $1.1 trillion or 42.4 percent higher than 1998. Lower tax rates do generate more revenue. That was proven by JFK, Ronald Reagan and George Bush."

 

Now you may shut your trap.

You will have to do better than that.   Inflation was about 30%  (maybe 29.97%) over that period.   Add that to the 11.5% population increase and it, in effect, negates any gain.
Also any number of other things could affect the total.  
 
Pick the date 2000 (back when Clinton was President and his economic policies had been effect for seven or eight years) and the maximum tax rate was 39.1% and receipts were $1.004 trillion and the date 2007 (When George W. Bush had been President for 6 years) and the maximum rate was 35% and receipts were $1.049 trillion.
 
A paltry 4.45% increase.   No where keeping with either  population growth or inflation.
 
The guy in the QCTimes is misleading you.

I'm going to revisit this.

Using a letter to the editor in theQCTimes as a source of reliable information is nuts.   You could just as well ask the next guy you see on the corner of Sycamore and 2nd Street.

It's certainly not enough to respond with "Now you may shut your trap".
