September 2nd, 2008 at 12:16 pm | posted by Virginia SimmonsWe knew it was a possibility but now it’s confirmed. Both Cindy McCain and First Lady Laura Bush will be coming by ONE’s service project at the Minneapolis Convention Center today from 2-5 PM CT If you’re in the area, dropped by and help out. It should be an amazing event.
Below, some photos I took during prep for the event yesterday.

BY adopting conservitive ideals, you will be requiring responsibility and accountibility from your legislators and representitives to do the right thing- spend our tax dollars appropriately and justifiiably- cut waste in spending and appropriate those saved tax dollars into well intentioned causes like what you are advocating here. Tax cuts have always resulted in more revenue coming into the goverment coffers– deeper tax cuts will ultimately result in even more tax revenue for the government- advocate for deeper tax cuts- advocate for larger tax deductions for charitable contributions by corporationsfor causes such as this. Change will come, but only if you advocate for taxation policies that have been proven to work (not the pie-in-the-sky crap that Obama is blindly advocating).

Not to start a political debate, but please know that raising taxes does not always result in increases in revenue, nor has it with respect to recent tax increases (cbo.gov). Taxes were reduced in 2001, which according to Mark would result in an increase in revenue; however, government revenue did not surpass pre tax revenue until 2005.
The only way tax revenues would increase is if you were on the right side of the laffer-curve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Laffer-Curve.svg) which it appears we were not.
I’m not making a case for higher taxes just don’t want people to believe that lower taxes leads to higher revenue. When it sounds too good to be true it usually is, there is No Free Lunch.
