I have a lot of respect for Senator Scott. I am a great fan. The only thing I have an issue with, and this is something everyone seems to do, is the way he talks about "lower taxes". It is also pointed out, rightly, that the amount of tax revenue increased, with lower tax RATES. It is the rate that was lowered, not the amount of tax collected. This may seem a little pedantic, but the way that taxes are talked about is critically important. Taxation is the most important thing government does. Recall that the cry of the American Revolution was "no taxation without representation". To be clear, this was also the impetus for the Magna Carta. Taxes are so critical because they provide the capital for everything else. This said, it in no way diminishes my admiration for and support for Senator Scott. It is just a reflection of one of my pet peeves.
