Tax cuts? NO!

My A-letter article on this past Tuesday ignited some pretty agitated responses, such as:

There's no such thing as a bad tax cut.  Can't believe anyone who believes in liberty would ever endorse a tax increase no matter how convoluted the logic.   

Rather than tax increases, how about endorsing SPENDING CUTS ! If the politicians won't cut spending, then the govt will just go formally bankrupt that much sooner ... to the benefit of all who want be free.  After all, if the govt has no money, then it sure isn't gonna be able to enforce laws and regulations because it isn't gonna be able to pay those hired to put a gun in our face.

Of course the answer is spending cuts! But the only way to get that spending cut is to wake the public up to just how they're being robbed. To cut taxes without spending cuts is what's put the country (and every country that engages in deficit spending) into the mess its in. As long as John Q. Public thinks he's better off with lower taxes, without looking at the fact that government borrowing is even more disastrous than taxing, the politicians can continue their evil ways.

Cut taxes and starve the beast? No, it won't starve, it will just eat your savings instead of taking it up front. And that's not convoluted logic, it's just common sense.
