Results matter and results are something you don't seem to understand. How old were you during the Reagan term? Do you always believe what you are told by the left? There were no tax hikes, the tax laws were enforced, rates were cut, elimination of deductions returned the law to previous levels and apparently didn't hurt Reagan at all as indicated by the 1984 election results. Economic expansion occurred, jobs were created, America's standard in the world regained so yes, it was a liberal nightmare. Not sure what you are looking at but I prefer Treasury numbers, feel free to look them up. I lived it and worked it, the best years of my life.
None of that is what I asked you. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You claimed that the increase in revenue is solely attributable to employment figures. So, please, explain to me how a net job creation of 1 million in 1981 yielded $41.8 billion more in income tax revenue than the year prior. Do you honestly expect me to believe that 1 million new workers paid $41,800 in income taxes each and when the median household income was only $17,743? :shock: You can argue that those new workers contributed to an increase in income tax revenue but the vast majority of that increase came about some other way.
