It's not rocket science

Really it's not. More people working making more money means more taxes are paid in, more money is spent buying goods and services, more goods and services bought means more employment which again means more goods and services being purchased... means more taxes paid in making the services that are paid for by taxes more plentiful ad infinitum

It's really not rocket science...
