Agreed on the difference between "tax rate" and "tax reduction." Another point; I heard somewhere that over the last (50 - 60 ??) years the Federal Government's tax revenue has always been between 15 and 18 of GDP. Regardless of the tax rates, regardless of who is getting what break, regardless of which special interest group is getting a reprieve from paying more than their "fair share."

Because I learned a long time ago that the only fair tax is the tax that taxes you and not me.

Sounds good to me!

One more phrase that the dems use all the time is “special interests” meaning eeevil corporations, etc.

Our side have to start saying “special interests” to identify Teachers Unions, SEIU, GM workers, Government workers, AARP, ABA, AMA, etc.

They are Very Special Interests of Obama and Co.
