Moderate tax cuts generally increase revenue. The president actually realizes this, if no one else does. OTOH, tax increases, while not increasing revenue after they reach a certain point, do increase the power of government and of the individuals who run it.
Am I to suppose that you support welfare for illegal immigrants, and the spending of billions on other entitlement programs and massive government bureaucracies that both parties fund with such abandon, the Republicans apparently with greater abandon than the Dems?
No...But when we get a tax cut, my taxes (and fees) go up...
When Bush does a flip-flop on amnesty for illegal welfare recipients, I'll go for the tax cuts...All the cuts will do now is shift the tax burden to people that can afford it the least...
