Let's see what really happens -- we have been burned so many times in the past with great promises.

Here's the reality as well....if they have to cut programs that put the burden on the states, do the tax cuts really make a difference or is it just shifting the burden to the states to collect...which may not be the worst thing ever...but it may not make that trickle down effect (that every economist in the world has denounced -- lol (yes overstated)......)

Tax cuts without addressing government costs would be disastrous for this nation.

For me -- a serious budget would raise revenue and cut costs. But cutting revenue thinking it will encourage economic expansion is a pipe dream and the benefits have been found to be minimal.....

As a small business owner what would make more impact is a universal healthcare act. That would immediately allow me to hire more people. The stuff that is being bandied about is peanuts.

That's in your business plan ? Don't share how it would work with anyone. You are sitting on a gold mine.

The second biggest business expense for a small business owner is healthcare. That is a fact. Not knowing this just shows your ignorance. And if you were a business owner you would not how it tracked over the last tem years and how a solution is needed. But go ahead. Blame Obama. Ignorant sheep always do.

Tax cuts DO NOT create jobs. Please quit parroting that fallacy.

Cut corporate rate to 15%, repatriation of overseas cash and middle class tax cuts are what we need. Don't try to pass "revenue neutral" crap that just means someone is paying more so someone can pay less. Guess who will pay less? The people with special interests that purchase politicians.

Senator Paul put it perfectly here if you want to get educated
