When I get in a discussion about economics, I always get the feeling that conservatives believe that liberals aren't educated on the subject. I find it gives liberals an upper hand.

Just something I find funny.

Edit: I'm more interested in finding out why under the Reagan supply side we saw a per capita revenue from personal income taxes raise about .05%, but under Clinton it rose an average of 6.3%.

BTW, under Bush the per capita increase has been about 2.3%. Under Obama? Smart money is on the mid 6s by 2012.
