It seems that it doesn't include regular income. If it does include wages how does he make up the lost revenue?

2. With pony magic.
Here's the insane theory:
1. If you tax people less, they will make more money.
2. They will then pay more in taxes, because they made more money.

3. We'll offset that by taxing anything above 200,000 at 65 percent.
Problems solved.

4. he's saying it will make the economy grow...more dollars in the
hands of the citizens, who will in turn spend, which will in turn raise tax revenue.
