I agree 100%
Tax policy has a dynamic effect; lowering tax rates increases tax receipts. If one studies the IRS numbers, it is obvious.
So, if the goal is to increase tax receipts, whether one is a Democrat or Republican, lowering taxes is the way to go.
So why would any party still be for raising taxes? Because some people just make too much money? And people that make not so much money should get some of that money?
The tax code is screwed up; it allows politicians to pass out favors via special tax treatments to certain groups and it allows social engineering and behavior modification via taxation . . . and it supports an unnecessary "layer"of CPAs and lawyers that costs the Country billions and billions of dollars and countless hours of lost productivity.
There's nothing "good" about the US tax code; it is a tool misused by politicians of both parties.
FWIW.
Best,
Kurt
