Not to annoy you with factual reality, but taxes weren't cut "for the rich." They were cut for everyone who pays income taxes under Reagan and Bush.

Revenues rose by 25% in the five years after Reagan's tax cut.

And after Bush's 2nd tax cut, revenues soared. There was no lack of revenues.

The problem was overspending both by Repubs and Democrats, allowed by Bush.

Which is one reason the Tea Party mentality began.

This fool ignores simple facts about taxing the rich. There is the Laffer curve and the Romer and Romer 2007 report. They found the Laffer cuve peaks at 33% and increasing it above that reduces the tax revenue.
