How about if I just use yours?

For example, one of their recommendations for SS solvency is to cut benefits. I discussed this in a different thread, where I talked about my dislike for the CBPP; a thread you were involved in. I am very conservative in my economic thinking and even I think we can do something about SS that doesn't involve cutting benefits
They are a liberal think tank.
I have a problem with some of their ideas just as you would have if I posted something from Heritage or Cato.
Nothing real complex here, they just view things differently than I do.
Also, your link from FactCheck correctly labeled them as "liberal" which removes any doubt in my mind if they are partisan or not.
Lastly, you statement said that tax revenue was "destroyed" which is hardly the case. When revenue goes up, it can hardly be described as "destroyed". Now, if you want to discuss tax revenue compare to GDP, I am fine with that, however, you will also have to include a lot of other information into your argument that you may not want to consider.
If you meant tax revenue was "destroyed" as compared to GDP than you should have said it, not added the thought later. Plus, even if you compare tax revenue to GDP I hardly think the word "destroy" could factor in as an adjective.
