I wish there was a way to write slow so that you will understand. So I guess I'll have repeat myself.
When Reagan lower taxes government revenue increase due to more economic activity. YET the deficit increased -- got larger. So you take in more money yet at the end of the month you end up with less. What does that mean? Even though income increased spending increased even more.
So I'll repeat: The problem isn't that the government doesn't confiscate enough of a people's income. The problem is the government spends too much.
Get it?
