Look, I stand by what I said previously, but please don't lump me into the "Reagan-ite" crowd just yet... I still have many issues with the "Reagan years" that no conservative has managed to explain away.
None the less, even FDR would see that with more than 93% of the American workforce gamefully employed, but watching their savings/retirement/income dwindle in an environment that is rapidly trending towards recession (where the same dollar amount buys less and less of what it did the fiscal period past), RAISING taxes is NOT the right thing to do. KEEP the money in the hands of those MOST likely to use it to the benefit of the economy, and only spend money where it will have the most BENEFICIAL impact on fiscal issues. WHEN (not IF) the economy turns around, you can begin to find the happy "medium" that CAN be found between unneeded deficit spending due to low tax revenues and a stagnant economy due to high tax rates.
These aren't the words of a newly-converted conservative... just a frustrated Truman-ite!
