"Supply-side" economics was proven to be a bankrupt ideology (to steal a phrase from Reagan) during the rosy years of Reagan and Bush Sr., and it's just as silly today under Bush Jr.. It simply does not work in the real world. But, we all know that Bush Jr. & friends do not live in the real world ...
first some questions cause i am quite unfamiliar with taxes in the usa unfortunately .
how much % of their income do "upper" ( 90k$+ ) , middle and low class have to pay in annual taxes ?

why are taxes increased in the future ? i don't understand that . lower taxes mean more consuming . the companies make even more profit and become even more competetive .
so with the lowered taxes expect in the very short run the tax income doesn't drop , most likely it even increases in the long run .

finally does the us government has some measures like tolls or political pressure which it can make if nothing else helps to keep the economy going .they are a bit immoral but this simply won't be necessary anyway as long as you keep republicans as presidents .
only bad thing is if you constantly switch between democrats and republicans and only thing they do is trying to abolish the things again which the former party did . but if there can be managed a constant policy from one party for 12 , 16 or 20 years this won't happen .
