Why can\’t candidates promise to cut taxes after reducing spending? I\’m sorry, but your average middle class family in America does not need a tax break. But your average lower or middle class child does need music and arts instruction, properly funded after-school programs, and more attention from teachers.
I\’m all for reducing governmental overhead and congressional earmarks. I would love to see us avoid getting embroiled into trillion-dollar wars. I would love to see money not thrown away to protect the interests of certain money-grubbing lobbies. But the reductions come first; the tax breaks come last.
Promised tax breaks are a great way to get elected. They\’re a shitty way to run a country.
