Absolutely let's apply some critical thinking to the chart.
First of all it covers 1960 to 2010.
What was the US population growth over that time?

I didn’t go into the other tax schemes, merely the “marginal tax rates” as a point of argument. I think our whole tax code sucks in general, and should be completely rewritten as a flat tax, or sales tax.

Lol- the facts do not lie. It literally points out that lowering taxes raises receipts. I am not sure what you are getting at, other than an obvious desire to avoid facts in order to cloud the water. For example, I don’t think population fluctuation has occurred at levels that ALSO match tax increases or decreases, thus influencing treasury receipts. But I’m waiting for you to post some facts on the matter that might suggest you have done some research that supports your hypothesis.
Also, I can deal with arguments, thankyouverymuch, but I appreciate the implication that I don’t know what parts of the internet are good for me to visit. And I’m sorry you didn’t understand the analogy- me thinks it rather obvious.

Disaster and emergency management. I’m doing it online, but some weeks are harder than others, especially now that I’m working on my capstone. I’ve got two little ones and I feel bad for my wife. Between work, the commute and school, I’m barely there to help. Today I’m working on the paper and babysitting so she can nap off a cold. Good luck with whatever you choose- just make sure if you take an online school it has a great mentor program. Mine does, but I’ve had some friends who didn’t and it killed them.
