Pivot

The president has decided that maybe tax cuts for some might just be good for the economy. And of course, Republicans are hemming and hawing about it, since it wasn't invented there.

First, why don't the Republicans one-up the president, making the point that if a 10% tax cut is good, then 20% has to be better and let him explain why 10% is just fine.

Second, I actually know the answer to the first point. Our legislators consider the taxes we are assessed to be 'pledged'; that is why they always talk about tax cuts having to be 'paid for'.

And there's no incentive for legislators to start viewing taxes as they ought - as theft.
