You knee jerk reaction was ill-considered.
This is ‘pandering’ of the best kind, the kind of tax cut policy that Reagan and GWB ran and won on:
1. Tax rate reduction is good economic policy that is pro-growth
2. It is letting people keep their own money
3. He is doing it the *right* way, cutting tax rates permanently and not just giving a gimmicky giveaway
4. He knows that our corporate tax rate is not competitive with other nations and specifically is helping out there
We should reject socialism and embrace progrowth tax cuts.
We should reject politicians who have no scruples about using the income tax system, an expression of one of the key planks of the communist manifesto, as vehicles to cynically forward their own political ambition.
