all this caca about lowering taxes (get the gov't off the back of the hardworking american businessman) b.s.
How about a thought experiment - what if we removed all taxes?
then what?
how does anything get paid for? I'm not doing it for nothing.
If they aren't dropped to zero, some other re-pubic-an will claim to drop taxes EVEN FURTHER, so peg the lowest rate.
Now can we start the serious talk about what a government should and should not do to/for it's citizens?
I'm depressed that all those not opposed to 'some taxes' haven't pressed the tax cutters with this argument, call their bluff.
