In the hearing he notes with significance that through the 20th century it was tax breaks that unfailingly resulted in economic robustness, which each time were cut short by tax increases. All examples are of unsustained growth. Conspicuously missing is the post-war period of the 1950s and 1960s when the country's economy had one of its longest periods of expansion while marginal tax rates on individuals were what Norquist would claim today as a guaranteed formula for economic disaster. Corporations also supported a much larger percentage of federal tax revenue. His Tommy Two Note song that everyone pays too much to the Fed, citing the top rate, while ignoring the loopholes driven through consistently by corporations and high income individuals, which results in effective rates well below the stated 35%. With Washington on the verge of washing out the extremist Republican component with the new administrations intention to attend to the K St. indecent rise to corrupt influence I look forward to the day when Grover crawls back into the hole from which he was hatched.
