The best thing about tax cuts is that they always pay for themselves, because the less you tax people, the more money they make.

When Federal Income taxes are cut discretionary income increases and along with that increased state and county sales tax revenues.

That's the reason why people driving city busses which have never been efficient or profitable are earning as much as and often more than policemen and school teachers. Not that they are suffering, when their 40 week a year with 20 and a pension pays more than a skilled factory job. And off all these non skilled occupations a college degree is required to work those jobs.

It's not surprising that doctors and nurses are in short supply considering that teaching in those professions pays less than they make in the private sector. And that even though there's no shortage of lawyers the amount of litigation from the deep pockets of insurance companies is a burgeoning business.

There's a lot wrong. Not just taxes. And if we don't do something about it soon in the west we'll be watching the emergent ones tail lights pulling away from us as they learn all our mistakes we refuse to address.
