Tax revenue is up even though taxes have been cut.

Correlation does not equal causation. Tax revenues are coming back up because .. they initially went way down.

The biggest jump was not from taxes withheld from salaries but from quarterly payments on investment gains and business earnings, which were up 20 percent this year."
