1) You don't make money by borrowing it, you end up owing more than you borrowed because of interest.

2) The government also makes money via tariffs, and no, they are not the same as taxes as we normally think of them. There are all kinds of taxes, and they all impact out lives and busineses in different ways.

3) Those stupid charts and graphs only use actual data, so please continue to ignore them. Logical.

4) No one is arguing that taxes don't generate revenue. We are arguing that progressive taxes don't generate any more revenue so in the end they are pointless. Please refer to the charts for supporting evidence. Do you know what evidence is? Evidence is data that supports informed opinion. You should look into it.

Why is it every time people post a reality that doesn't fit with your personal universe, you make wildly inaccurate and ignorant statements, and then stomp off as if its the end of discussion? Do you think that any opinion can be made reality simply by wishing hard enough? Do you still wonder why I continue to state that you embarrass yourself by continuing in this manner?

But please continue to not read any facts regarding the topics you discuss, misinterpret anything you manage to accidentally read, and confabulate wild, idiotic generalizations of anyone's point of view that doesn't exactly repeat your sentiments.
