Income Tax: There is no evidence that raising the top marginal rates increases revenue as a % of GDP (yet you insist that raising the top marginal rates will "help with the deficit" because you fallaciously believe it will result in government collecting more in revenue).

Capital Gains Tax: There is evidence that raising CG rates LOWERS revenue and that lowering rates INCREASES revenue (yet you fallaciously believe that raising the CG rates will increase revenue).

Both of those statements are corroborated by historical data from the CBO and other equally impartial sources.

Using force against one person in order to benefit another is immoral. You support such immoral acts because you believe them to be "compassionate", I oppose such acts because I know they are immoral, unethical, and unjust.

Robert Reich is the only "source" I can remember you bothering to cite in all the time you've been posting here. Most of the time when we ask you to support your statements with evidence, you dodge the question and offer an emotional appeal instead.

You did not answer my question. Instead you deflected the question by attacking people with whom you disagree in a vein attempt at a red herring.
