When this doesn't work how will you shift blame?
It worked under JFK.
It worked under Ronald Reagan.
It worked under George W. Bush (except that Bush spent to fund two wars, and at some point after recovery began should have called on the nation to accept tax raises and sacrifice to pay for the two wars he was fighting. Although 80% of the 5 trillion he spent was on social programs IN FULL PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DEMOCRATS, and cannot fully be blamed on Bush alone: the prescription drug plan, No Child Left Behind, and expansion of social security. These programs were the wet dream fulfilled for Democrats, and I think a way for Bush to attempt to buy their cooperation, by bipartisanly compromising to give them what they wanted. A true conservative would have cut spending to offset the cost of the wars, and not spent more than we were bringing in.)
But regardless, there is a track record of these tax reductions increasing Federal revenue, as well as creating private-sector business expansion and jobs.
