Revenue went down for 4 years then began to grow at the normal rate. The tax cuts took away 4 years of growth and added nothing.

The 1997 Clinton tax cuts were individual not Corp.
Clinton raised the top rate to 35% early in his admin and guess what... corp tax revenues still grew.

LOL. For every year Clinton was the president he had a 20 year high... because reciepts grew every year.
Bush had 3 years when his reciepts where a 20 year high.

I know it's hard when you core beliefs are shown to be wrong but no need to get personal.

States clearly aren't making it on the revenue from their taxpayers They should be. It's called balancing the budget, and living within your means. Of course, if you can get some shmuck to pay your credit card bills for you, then spend, spend,spend.

Do you think this is frivolous?
http://www.allamericanpatriots.com/48752796-missouri-gov-nixon-expands-request-for-federal-assistance-to-include-public-infr
May 28, 2009 -- JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri Governor Jay Nixon today sent President Barack Obama a request for additional federal assistance for infrastructure damage in 46 counties impacted by the severe weather and storms from May 8 to May 16. This is in addition to Gov. Nixon's previous request for a disaster declaration from the federal government.
Damages to public property and infrastructure exceeded $48.7 million in the 46 counties canvassed by the federal/state/local joint damage assessment teams. This amount also includes damages to the public utilities and electric cooperatives, estimated at more than $37 million. Power was finally restored to all citizens over Memorial Day weekend, Gov. Nixon said.
"After the May tornadoes, I saw the damages and visited with citizens and elected officials in Carl Junction, Charity, Fair Grove, Fredericktown, Kirksville and Novinger. On May 20, I asked the President to approve my request for federal disaster declaration. Now that public damage assessments are complete, I am expanding my request to help reimburse local governments for their emergency protective actions, damaged public property, infrastructure and public utilities," Gov. Nixon said.
Based on the damage assessments earlier this week, Gov. Nixon is asking for 46 counties to be declared eligible for public assistance. Those counties are: Adair, Barton, Bollinger, Camden, Cape Girardeau, Cedar, Crawford, Dade, Dallas, Dent, Douglas, Greene, Hickory, Howell, Iron, Jasper, Knox, Laclede, Lewis, Madison, Maries, Marion, Miller, Newton, Oregon, Ozark, Perry, Phelps, Polk, Pulaski, Ray, Reynolds, Ripley, St. Francois, Ste. Genevieve, Saline, Shannon, Shelby, Stone, Sullivan, Texas, Vernon, Washington, Wayne, Webster and Wright.
If the President approves Gov Nixon's request, the federal government will reimburse communities for 75% of their emergency response and eligible recovery activities associated with the May 8-16 severe weather.
On the first day of the storms, May 8, Gov. Nixon declared a state of emergency, which activated the State Emergency Operations Center to aid local communities with resource requests. The Governor issued the declaration after being briefed at the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA).
The Governor conducted visits to Carl Junction, Charity and Fair Grove on May 9; to Fredericktown on May 12; and to Kirksville and Novinger on May 14 to meet with emergency responders and to survey the damage himself. To help Missourians clean up after the storms, he issued an executive order to allow temporary waiving of any statutes or administrative rules or regulations in order to serve the interests of public health and safety. Following that order, Department of Natural Resources Director Mark Templeton waived rules regarding burning of downed tree limbs and brush for counties affected by the storm system.
And same state...

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Gov. Jay Nixon declared job creation his top priority while suggesting that Missouri’s public schools and colleges should share the burden for the state’s burgeoning budget woes.
In a State of the State address Wednesday that acknowledged continued job losses and declining tax revenues, Nixon said Missouri must provide greater incentives for biotechnology firms, job training and existing businesses that expand locally.
He stressed that public schools would receive a record amount of money under his proposed budget for next year — even though it would give K-12 school districts less than one-fifth of the funding increase needed to fully finance Missouri’s school formula.
Nixon also proposed cuts for public universities and colleges, which have agreed to hold tuition flat in 2010-2011 to avoid even larger cuts. Nixon sought to soften some of the financial blow by urging an expansion of scholarships for community college students — a pledge from his 2008 gubernatorial campaign that lawmakers have yet to fund.
The governor proposed a $23.9 billion operating budget for the 2011 fiscal year that would grow by a little more than 3 percent from the spending plan currently in place. It would do so by relying on nearly $1.2 billion in federal stimulus funds, some of which Missouri is not guaranteed to receive. Nixon’s budget assumes Missouri will get about $300 million if Congress extends the federal stimulus payments to states by an additional six months.
Nixon’s budget office announced Wednesday that it also was redirecting $150 million of federal stimulus funds away from college building projects and incentives for high-tech battery manufacturers to instead help close a $200 million shortfall in the current budget. Among the other projects axed because of the budget shortfall were various Capitol security improvements such as additional cameras and new locks.
Although Missouri has avoided the financial meltdown that has occurred in some states, “we still face sober — very sobering — financial challenges,” Nixon said.
The Democratic governor received a bipartisan standing ovation from lawmakers as he called upon them to pass what he dubs his “2010 Jobs Plan.” Missouri has lost 89,000 jobs since January 2008, according to Nixon’s budget figures. And at 9.6 percent, its unemployment rate — while slightly lower than the national average — is at its highest mark in more than 26 years.
“Our mission is clear: We must keep the jobs we have, and create thousands more,” Nixon said. “We must build a granite foundation for Missouri’s future growth. And we must balance the budget without raising taxes.”

No 2 of the years was after the tax cuts.
Revenue went down for 4 years then began to grow at the normal rate. The tax cuts took away 4 years of growth and added nothing.
Your an idiot: The CBO says the exact opposite.
The 1997 Clinton tax cuts were individual not Corp.
Your an idiot:
"Subject to certain phase-in rules, the top capital gains rate fell from 28% to 20%. The 15% bracket was lowered to 10%".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxpayer_Relief_Act_of_1997
LOL. For every year Clinton was the president he had a 20 year high... because reciepts grew every year.
Again you're an idiot who can't read : I said Corp receipts. CBO graph confirms corp receipt highest in 30 years in 2006.
I know it's hard when you core beliefs are shown to be wrong but no need to get personal.
Clinging desperately to your non economic dogma, you've demonstated your complete inability to comprehend a very simple graph. The only conclusion anyone can come to regarding your level of intelligence, is the aforementioned classification.
