    **************************************************************************   
      
    Reagan raised taxes, and his recovery started.   
      
    Bush I raised taxes, and his recovery started.   
      
    Clinton started out with a tax increase and his economy was one   
    of the best, if not the best, in the history of the country.   
      
    Bush II did not raise taxes, he produced half the entire   
    national debt accumulated from the founding of this country   
    until the end of his term, a debt burden running up to 90% of   
    GDP, and then a near depression that may still become a   
    depression.   
      
    100% of the post WWII increase in the debtburden, the debt as   
    percentage of GDP, occured under three anti-tax republican   
    presidents.   
      
    80% of the total national debt incurrred by this country over   
    the 233 years of it's existance, from 1776 to 2009 was incurred   
    under those 3 anti-tax republican presidents.   
      
    Maybe tax increases do help... the evidence seems to suggest   
    they just might.
