No country has ever taxed itself into prosperity. JFK, Reagan, or GW
doesn't think so either. As the economy grows, so will the revenue taken in
by the government.

Reagan lowered taxes for high-income people but he raised
taxes on everyone else a number of times throughout his tenure.
In spite of that, he and the Dem-controlled congress still managed
to produce huge deficits (they seemed huge then, but GB II's
make them seem small by comparison).
