Taxes are always a hot issue, but do taxes really matter? I would think, the important issue is governement spending...

If taxes get cut now, but spending is not, then all this will do is give people more money now, but less later...

Or if you raise taxes for coorporations, yea, you will get more tax money now, but it will slow down coorporate growth rate, hurting us later...
It is amazing what a tax cut can do to someone's mind. Take for example when Gov Ventura of MN decided it would be a brilliant move to give everyone a little immediate beer money, instead of using the bulk dollars for something useful.
