This is a subject well suited for posts containing well researched findings,
facts, and figures from sources with reputations for publishing non-partisan,
timely, comprehensive reports on the effects of government tax policies.

First, you should note that I have always taken issue with CBPP, anytime anyone has used them as a reference. They are hardly non-partisan and hardly accurate--see my past posts on them (i.e. SS threads).
Second, the irony in this is kinda funny.
In another thread, someone made outlandish claims about the "Bush tax cut" which I refuted with primary evidence (not from a think tank). Here is the claim:

Now, we look at the truth (posted in response to the above assertion):

Either that, or tell us how you define "destroyed", because I do not think it means what you think it means.
For example:
Tax Revenue for 2001: Greater than any year Clinton was Prez except 2000 (not bad considering the recession)
Tax Revenue for 2002: Greater than any year Clinton was Prez except 2000.
Tax Revenue for 2003: Greater than Clinton years except 1999 and 2000.
All categories are on the rise and either meet or exceed revenues from Clinton's best years.

Now, if tax revenue was "destroyed", how can the numbers being increasing?
If you look at the data, you will see a dip after 2001 that trended upward for 2004. This would make sense once you factor in the economic impact of 9/11 and a recession (that started before Bush took office).

Host -
The previous assertions about Bush destroying tax revenues were made by you. I refuted it with the same exact evidence as I listed above--you never responded. In this case, I am repeating claims I have made here over and over again--I get tired of citing the same source when nobody bothers to reply.
Now, we have this comment:

A simple check with U.S. Department of Labor proves this to be a false claim as well.
