Somebody in another forum induced me to look at the Clinton years and the tax data. With the claim of their being a $trillion plus surplus as a result of the major tax increase. Turns out that Clinton with his tax increase collected $6.2 trillion while in office. The tax cuts of the Bush years, however, "only" resulted in $9.5 trillion.

Not exactly on point but not far off either, since taxes were at least mentioned. And it is the first time I found independent confirmation of lower taxes making more money!

Yes We Can is turning into What Have You Done..
