I applauded that. But it wasn't enough - taxes are still much higher than before Bush Sr. did away with Reagan's tax cuts. And the Alternative Minimum Tax threatens to wipe it all out anyway. Bottom line: Government needs your money, and your kids' money, and your parents' money. They need it for domestic boondoggles and for a foreign war that was never necessary for US security (in other words, just another government boondoggle).
