On the recordNovember 29, 2001
That is exactly right. Reclaiming my time for just a moment, when the President, President Kennedy at the time, made that observation, he was correct. He initiated a round of tax cuts that generated this prosperity. It is interesting that you pointed out, quite rightly, that lowering taxes really only works when taxes are excessively high. If we had extremely low taxes right now and an appropriate level of government spending, then I do not think we would be advocating for even further tax reductions. But right now we are at a record high. The Federal Government has not consumed as large a share of our total economic output as it does today since 1944.
