“It virtually eliminates the massive compliance costs of the current tax code, and it restrains the size of government.”
I’m pretty sure he’s on board with cuts in spending. He obviously subscribes to a “starve the beast” approach so I’m sure he’ll present his views on cuts if he hasn’t already.
The one two punch of supply side economics is to lower taxes and reduce spending at the same time. Expanding the base and reducing spending both have the same effect of lowering the cost of government.
Yes he supports cuts. Its easier for some to suggest he doesn’t.
I think he is releasing his plans, slowly, bit by bit. This does a couple of things. It allows for discussion on each piece as its released and it helps to prevent information overload. I really do think that he wants people to understand his plans.
Cain has not proposed any cuts in government spending. Cain’s only proposal is a Liberal Tax and Spend Scheme.
