So shuffle where the taxes are paid. You still pay the same amount or maybe more if it's a sales tax. You being so wealthy.

2. Student loans...the cost of higher education just coincidentally rose like crazy the minute the federal govt. got involved with student loans. The whole system is fucked up from the get-go. Just like medical care...the problem isn't the rates on student loans. The problem is that universities are overcharging so much that you NEED a student loan to go to college in the first place.

Would make sense if your private medical care wasn't the most expensive in the world.

3. No great wonders will ever be built in our lifetime. Ecological groups make sure of that. The govt. would NOT build the Panama Canal in 2012. Nor the Hoover Dam. Or pretty much anything else. Hell, they can't even let a private company build the Keystone pipeline.
But pretty much every "big" impressive thing the U.S. ever built would be illegal to build under current federal regulations.

And less would be built if their were tax cuts.
We could rape the Earth more just to put some more money in your pocket so you can buy an even bigger gas guzzling SUV. Which is likely to be imported or built from imported parts in the US. Should I remind you of the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill or Exon Valdiz?
Or the present mess which was private bankers without enough Government control gambling the world close to a Depression and the Governments bailing us all out. They could of let them sink and us with them.
Bring the troops home and stop fighting wars.
And then what? Build extra barracks or fire them? Stop shooting American bullets, missiles, etc to allow people to get tax cuts. Great ideas, more people can buy even more imported jobs while 10,000 of troops are unemployed and workers in arms factories join them. Great combination to put on the streets.
What Robbie has failed to show where cutting taxes will bring more prosperity to the USA or for that matter the EU. We both now import far far too much and more money in shoppers pockets = more imports. The Chinese will love you for it.
