Someone can explain to me the contradictory justapoxition of "tax cuts"
and "increases in federal revenue" ?

A cut in marginal tax rate can result in increased productivity, new
job creation, a booming economy and consequently higher tax revenue.
When people keep their own money for investment and purchasing power,
they generally employ it in ways which grow the economy.

For details on the concept refer to the work of Arthur Laffer, and the
