Political Bloviation

If the WaPo editorial page say the Tax Fairy ain’t real, then it ain’t real.

Mr. Giuliani and the Tax Fairy - washingtonpost.com
“I KNOW THAT reducing taxes produces more revenues,” Republican presidential candidate Rudolph Giuliani declares in a new television ad launched Thursday. “Democrats don’t know that. They don’t believe it.”

There’s a good reason for that: It’s not true. Produces more revenue than what? Than if taxes had not been cut? No — and no matter how many times Republican politicians caught up in the thrill of supply-side thinking pronounce that tax cuts pay for themselves, they cannot will it to be correct.

Either Rudy knows he’s lying and doesn’t care or he’s a fool.
