How far will it go and is everything on the diet table?
If that's the case, I'm cool with it. Just not "only" tax cuts. By the way, aren't tax rates the lowest they've been in 30 or more years? If so, where's the mercurial growth that wipes out the debt? And at what point do we stop cutting taxes? That can't be the cure all, can it? Didn't Reagan raise taxes 7 of his 8 years?
Please. Get over it. I said it and I'll say it again. Cut across the board. Every entitlement, every social program, every defense appropriation, every business subsidy, everything. Leave nothing out. Now are you telling me that if tax rates were at 2% all would be wonderful and paid for? Is that where all the tax cutting is going? Tell you what. Let's all vote for the Republicans, give them a 2 to 1 margin in representation and let's see if they cut like they've always said they want to cut. Get serious. You couldn't get enough prosperity fast enough for re-election time.It's kinda funny how you guys try to play that game. You talk about tax rates when in reference to Obama and only refer to income but when talking about Reagan you want to talk in a much broader way. Reagan signed a 25% across the board reduction in the marginal rate. He did fail by trying to save social security by raising the amount the government takes while before he was president spoke out against it.
Tax revenue to the federal government has more than tripled since 1965. Tax revenue is projected to increase this year over last year. National debt continues to rise. At some point you have to wonder how large a government you want. They take over two trillion dollars a year from the people now. We could cut the government down to one trillion dollars a year and that would be to large for me.
That sounds familiar somehow....1994....big republican takeover.....contract with america....term limits....whatever happened I wonder?If politicians want to make the people happy, they would put forth some kind of bill espousing term limits for senators and representatives. That would please the people......left, right, center, whatever.

LOL. Nothing radical there. Quite sure Rand and Ron will push that through in no time. Swing for the seats and double down now!No I say the tax on income should be 0%. It is stupid to have a penalty for productivity. It is also horrible that everyone is not treated equal in this Country. I also say that a tax on investments should be 0%. It is stupid to have a penalty imposed on people who invest in economic activity during an economic downturn. I'd also like to see no tax on death. We need to eliminate entire departments of government not just downsize some. Time and time again we are faced with the inefficiencies and corruption government brings not to mention the loss of freedom and all you wanna do is trim a little back.

Simple numbers, Wk. Never gonna pass anything that appears even close to as radical as cutting taxes in half, let alone to 0%
Having a tax on income is what is radical. It is in fact so radical they had to change our Constitution.
