That Democrats want to extend the Bush tax cuts at all must be seen as total capitulation on the philosophical question of whether tax cuts are good for an economy.
The Republicans should ask why exactly are the Democrats willing to cut taxes at all? Aren’t taxes good?
This is why we need principled conservatives instead of Boehner-like get alongs.
Exactly! We need to take this to them. Now that they are agreeing that tax cuts do spur economic growth the question is how big and how widespread.
We can agree that we don’t want to just give the “lazy rich” a tax cut, but the working rich, the small business owners, those that employ others, and those that have the means to move their capital away from being taxed at all should get a tax cut. I guess that just leaves John Kerry as the lazy rich guy to tax :-)
