re: #121 BryanS

I stated what I though about the 90’s and made it very clear that I believed it was a classic boom to bust scenario, having nothing to do with tax rates. In fact I argued above that tax rates probably should have been higher.

Are you claiming there is a clear inverse relationship between tax rates and economic growth?

so when taxes are raised and there’s an ecomomic boom, you claim that tax increases had no effect, but when taxes are cut and growth is average to low, then a lack of an actual recession is evidence that tax cuts lead to growth? can’t you see that this is illogical?

and as for your second question, no, i am only trying to point out that, counter to conservative ideology, it is not true that tax increases always lead to poor growth and that tax cuts always lead to robust growth
