I can find you examples where lowering taxes lead to lower revenue, examples where raising taxes lead to lower revenue, examples where raising taxes lead to higher revenue, and examples where lowering taxes lead to higher revenue. What would be the point? There are but a small handful of examples, none of which are more than circumstantial correlations that were caused by such immense factors that 1) have shown no consistent pattern and 2) can't possibly be pinned to being affected solely by the act of changing taxation.

btw: Is "proven" a word? My spell check didn't like it???

"Proved" is technically the correct form, though "proven" is an accepted alternative. I personally prefer "proven" and have added to my Firefox dictionary. Incidentally, "Firefox" is not in the Firefox dictionary.
