CUTTING TAXES! NO NEW TAXES!

You know, that in every election almost every party talks about cutting taxes someway or another.  If this were really true, we would be down to a zero tax rate 30 years ago!

Why can’t candidates ever just say “we’re going to try and make things a bit more efficient, and change the direction of some programs, but we might need to collect some taxes to support these useful programs, while we might save a little in some not as useful programs.” 

I guess that doesn’t get the electorate that excited.  Too bad–a little truth would be appreciated now and then.

  1. I am willing to pay more taxes if they fix the problems we face. I hate hate hate that no one is asking us to sacrifice! Tax cuts during a war are unethical and ridiculous. I am so mad at both the candidates for pulling out the tax cut game.
