You know, the numbers would actually disagree with this retarded assertion. The tax cuts at best, helped the economy and at worst, didn't hurt it. And no, if tax rates go up, the business owner will just take the money offshore and misreport on his taxes. You'd have to be an idiot to "reinvest" into your own company with the tax rates rising.
