Facts are pesky things, aren't they? :whistling:
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

They are when they're really facts.  In this case the fact is the economic stats, but the causation and correlation to the tax change are just inferential.  Both sides of economic arguments are fond of slinging stats around, completely isolated from cyclic considerations, world events, or tech developments.  I think IN GENERAL a tax cut has a favorable effect on economic activity, but at some level there is a flex point and it works the other way because economically-supportive services the government provides begin to degrade, but nobody really knows for sure where that point is.
