Every past “tax cut” in rates has produced a bonanza of economic activity during which the rich have in fact paid more taxes because their business increased.
Why can’t we work this into a winning tactic? Instead of “tax increases” on the rich, let’s have “revenue increases” from the rich, which are enacted by business-friendly measures that improve the economy to such an extent that the rich pay more.
This seems like the germ of an idea that could work.
