There is no proof that raising taxers produces higher revenue (in fact the opposite occurs) or helps the poor. There is no proof that raising taxes on the producers of the economy and having redistributed by a bunch of elitist, clueless jackasses who are putting their theories to use that they learned in the fake world of academia works.
You are calling yourself a libertarian with this post??????

Yes exactly.
Thanks again for proving my point.
It's real rocket science, so follow me:
When the economy is bustling along, tax revenues go up.
When the economy sucks, tax revenues go down.
It's a cyclical thing.
there is absolutely NOTHING that a president can do to change that, not by borrowing money to "stimulate" the economy, and certainly not by borrowing money to give away to the ultra-rich in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, they might throw us middle class peasants a crumb and create a job with it (which history has proven again and again over the last 30 years does not work either).
Nothing a President can do, by borrowing money, to fix this. Get it?
It get fixed by:
* getting out of unprovoked, unsubstantiated wars and uninvited occupation of sovereign nations.
* closing every single US military installation abroad unless by doing so creates a clear and present danger to our nation or our allies (ie. we don't need three military installation in Germany, they can pretty well fend for themselves.)
* legalizing and taxing the shi.t out of drugs and ending this 1 trillion+ dollar, 40 year old, failure
* legalizing and taxing all forms of gambling including sports gambling in all 50 states
there is just 4 ideas that would have this deficit cut in half in a year.
And that is straight up Libertarian, my friend.
