OK, I’ll bite.
Taxes should not be cut - they should not exist.
No form of income, personal or corporate, from any source whatsoever, is the legitimate property of any government.
(Tariffs and taxes on consumption are a different matter.)
No war should ever be fought without first declaring an enemy and an objective, and subsequent to that prosecuting it until the former is totally destroyed and the latter met. (This is not an either/or proposition.)
See? You weren’t alone afterall!
Dang... you’re probably already on somebody’s list! =]

What about income originating from convicts sentenced to hard labor as a part of their custodial sentence? Seems reasonable that any income arising from that should become property of HM Prisons, to help defray the cost of incarceration. What say you to that?
(Good practical example: the prison installs a big treadmill capable of keeping 100 convicts moving at a steady speed of 5 miles per hour 24 x 7, in twenty rows of five across. Twelve hours on, six hours sleep, six hours rehabilitation therapy. Two shifts. The treadmill is attached to a generator, which in turn provides electricity to the grid; or to a pump that extracts water or oil from the ground.
I’d say that makes a fine Conservative project.)
“Taxes should not be cut - they should not exist.

I’m in total agreement with you on this.
But conservatives seem to prefer to argue on the same platform, using the same principles, as the left—however, to a “lesser degree”. Which, as everyone should know, does not exist in the universe. You either are socialist, or you are not.
Reagan lowered taxes by arguing against them.
Regan shrank government by arguing against government.
Seems simple to me but conservatives choose to dwell in gray areas leaving their soft underbelly exposed to the leftist devils.
This is their beloved leader but they focus on his communication skills rather than his guiding principles and rock-solid character—both are sworn enemies of the “gray area”.
You are a capitalist, and act like one, or you are not.
Any approximation increase variables and subjects you to Murphy’s Law on steroids.
This is why PRINCIPLES and the resulting CHARACTER are so vital to human evolution. They succeed where EVERYTHING else fails.
