Why do leftists deny this historically proven axiom to be true?

It's true: HIgher taxes = lower revenue.

That's all part of the LIB plan to force more working people into poverty, as it'll grow increase expand the DEM plantation ever more. DEMS want a larger base, and they're will to sacrifice America especially her tax-paying middle-class to get it.

There are many other factors influencing tax revenue. For instance, without cutting any taxes at all, the amount can lower if more people are either unemployed or paid so little they don't pay any.
