There is a REASON everyone is trying to get here - its because everywhere else basically sucks! Part of that reason is because of our economic system. "The land of opportunity" is not just some made up bullshit - its actually the truth.

Taxes are inhibitive of growth! Especially when they are levied on the rich. Every dollar you take in additional income tax is another dollar not spent in the economy. That means, less taxes overall - since NONE of that money goes back into the economy creating industry, jobs, sales and MORE TAXES at every level of that economic production.

You can all sit here and try to restate all the spin you've heard on the telle all you want, but in truth, if you spent the time to go back and actually review the facts, you would see that EVERY TIME taxes have been cut (Kennedy, Reagan & Bush) the economy responded with record growth and total tax revenue INCREASED dramatically!

To say that the tax cuts have negatively impacted revenues - is an outright lie.
