So you can take the years off that chart that taxes were lowered and prove the economy strengthened, and yet when taxes increased by the years on those charts the economy went downhill?
State and local taxes may be comparatively low now, but they will have to increase or programs you enjoy will be gone as will state colleges and local public schools.
You didn't say Bush wouldn't raise taxes but you keep bragging about the tax cut that when he does raise your taxes you're going to be paying dearly for.
And YES, when a people lose jobs their tax money is lost (not just NATIONALLY, BUT LOCALLY, AND STATELY). If those people find a job but make less, then they are paying less in taxes and the base goes down again nationally, locally and stately. When factories get outsourced, businesses that counted on those workers to buy things lose business and end up closing down. So Nationally, locally and stately you lost the income from the factory, the workers and the businesses and workers they employed.
Yes, nationally, we may not notice the mass exodus at first, but IT WILL catch up to us and those who are rich will be paying a Hell of a lot more or emigrating the fuck out of here because the middle class won't exist and the poor won't be able to afford the taxes.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
