The problem with government, is once you give them a dollar, they never give it back. They will just find something else to spend it on if the original reason for needing it is gone. Then if you try to cut 1 dollar off the budget, you hate the military or you hate poor people or you're a racist, etc. etc.

Any tax plan that doesn't start with massive reductions in the federal budget is a waste of time. No tax plan will ever raise enough money to keep up with what the government spends.

Government spending is not a good thing. Every dollar they take is one less dollar not in the economy. Spending should be limited to what is absolutely required to be spent on. Not a penny more.

Where I most disagree with Democrats is, Democrats think government is inherently good, as long as the right people are running it. I think the government is inherently a necessary evil, that must be fought, challenged, limited, no matter who is running it. Biggest way to challenge them is to control how much they're allowed to take from us.
