How ‘bout this, Ed?
Cut taxes. So what if it cuts government revenue, that’s a GOOD THING!
Cut government revenue means less unconstitutional spending and funding of junk that is ruining our country.
I say cut all fedgov spending except what is enumerated in the Constitution.
Add to your list: Cut all government pay by 10% for every three months that the Federal budget is not balanced. Cut federal pay to match the average of the American people. Get rid of all pork and earmarks. Cut the number of federal and state employees by 30%.
“I say cut all fedgov spending except what is enumerated in the Constitution.”
Can’t do that, then we would not need an income tax. The IRS would not have anything to do. /s
It is true, though that we would not need a personal income tax. And there would be enough income to start paying down debt.
As a rule of thumb, 50% of any wealth that passes through the government's hands is destroyed. That's because governments make political decisions, not business decisions. Total wealth increases the less government is involved. That is why socialized health care is such a bad thing. We will get 50% less health care for the same cost, which will be have to be rationed. But to leftists, reducing total wealth, the source of their intense feelings of envy, is the objective, so they are happy with that result.
