Your father in law wrote: “ Wisconsin is one clear example where, to pay for the very generous tax breaks given to the rich”

You should have pointed out that there is NO SUCH THING as “paying for a tax cut”. A tax cut isn’t an expenditure. A tax cut is the government stealing less from the people. Or letting them keep more of what they earn. It’s their money in the first place. It belongs to those who earned it. Not to government. Giving tax cuts to people doesn’t cost government one thin dime because its not spending one thin dime when tax cuts are enacted.

Yes, that is a good point. Republicans and conservatives should never let progressives and Democrats get away with language carries within it this implicit assumption that all money is owned by the government.
