Tax cuts

[Lunar]

I suppose I'm more inclined to the liberal thought of giving most of the tax cuts to those that need it the most.

Also, in order for a tax cut to work, it requires a cut in spending, not a raise.   In general, if we could cut a large portion of the government out and streamline the rest, I'd be completely in favor of a huge across-the-board tax decrease.

Those who need a "tax cut" most don't pay any taxes.  What you're talking about is income redistribution, not a tax cut.

They pay taxes, just perhaps not income tax.  In addition, there are people who badly need tax cuts who belong to a lower income tax bracket.  To me, I don't care if a millionaire has an extra 20 grand or not, but I do care whether my 20 neighbors have an extra 1 grand each.

 It's not always a choice between helping the poor and helping the economy, I think the progressive income tax does both.
