I don't believe that you can cut taxes and generate more revenue....
Sure you can -- it all depends on where the rates were, how much you're cutting them, etc.. Cutting rates won't always lead to more revenue. But it surely can under the right circumstances. Otherwise, the reverse would always be true - increasing tax rates would always bring in more tax revenue.
Of course, I would add that raising government revenues is not the primary reason to cut individual taxes. The primary reason to cut individual taxes is to let people keep more of the money they have earned.
