States should cut taxes for the rich some more to increase revenue. That will solve the budget
problems, right?

That has been the conservative argument for 30 years.

Funny how that didn't work out, huh?

1. yes, but facts have a liberal bias.
They will be making the same argument 100 years from now; assuming we survive global warming, which they also deny.

4. Of course it doesn't work. Conservatives apparently don't understand basic math.
Revenue is the money an entity takes in if you cut what comes in and spend at the same rate you go broke.

5. I think the argument was always that it would 'create jobs'
