Tax Cuts and Government Revenue
The income tax cuts enacted during the administrations of Calvin Coolidge in the 1920s, Kennedy-Johnson in the 1960s, Ronald Reagan in the 1980's and the current administration of George Bush have all resulted in total tax revenues increasing as there is not only more income available to tax in the top brackets, but the fact that additional jobs created are created for people in the lower tax brackets means that the number of new workers in the lower brackets have increased the pool of income subject to taxation in these brackets as well .

However, politicians are addicted to spending and, in each of the recent tax cuts, Congress has gone on a spending binge every time the revenues from tax cuts increased. This is where we are getting the warnings about growing deficits as the opponents of tax cuts first project spending increasing at the current rate and then project how much more income could be raised by reversing the tax cuts and restoring rates to the old levels while assuming, incorrectly, that the amount of taxable income will remain the same. Of course, income will go down as people, when faced with higher taxes on the extra income, will cut back on working and investing.
