Tax Policy

Gentlemen. Educate me. I keep hearing that tax revenues increase when tax rates are lowered. Sure, I understand the theory here. It's like lifting the control rods out of a nuclear reactor core. I get it. In theory. What I don't have is the practical. The proof. Show me tax revenues as a function of tax rates. Show me the correlation. The graph(s). If you can show this, you will have me as a 125% supporter. If I thought tax revenues would rise in response to tax rate reductions, I would become a MASSIVE supporter. Here is your chance.

But here is a caveat: I will pay much closer attention to data that comes from an independent source. Like the government. Please spare me the "gubmit is a bunch of lying communists" while showing me data from conservative think-tanks and entertainment sources like Fox and Limbaugh.
