No... if we didn't have systems of budeting rampant in this government that penalize departments for not using all the money they had alotted, then we could have 1/2 the taxes and still grow the military.

Has anyone here actually served in the government or worked on government contracts? Lemme tell you that what you will find will twist your fucking head off. If anyone ran a company the way we run our country, they would be in deeper shit than Enron.

I'll agree that tax cuts are bad only in so far as our system is so fucked up that we need to keep growing revenue into it to keep it in place as it is. But if the damn thing was overhauled we could go back to running it on sales and property and some trade taxes
alone.

Last point that bugs me - lower income folks getting pissed when their are corporate tax breaks. What do you think happens when corps have more cash flow? They expand which means they create more jobs which means more people spend more money and more sales tax is collected. It aint brain surgery guys, come on!
