To say that x fraction of a deficit is due to a tax cut requires that one presume that spending could not have been cut to achieve a balanced budget. Spending is too often considered necessary and tax cuts considered risky or frivolous.Nothing is more disgusting to true fiscal conservatives than the overspending of the GOP Congresses (except the spending of subsequent Democratic Congresses, which has proven worse).

If Sweden has it so good why did they change it[1],[3], and you may want to look a little bit closer on the tax breakdown[2] in the old Swedish life-style: website(1)[ http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1812964,00.html ] and a retrolook at Sweden’s situation (2)[ http://www.namyth.com/SocialismWORKS!/index.php?sw=Sweden ] cradle 2 grave works in NO country…bottom line? Why work!! (3)[ http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2007/jun/16/20070616-080932-5740r/ ]Lastly hold up a graph for unemployment, welfare recipients, next to the graph on GDP…what a difference you’ll see…By the way both my wife and I have been working for the last 20 years straight and are abbout to go over the $150,000 annual list…WHY did I work my buttocks off? To give to a person who keeps submittimg for welfare and not looking for a job!! I am for welfare, everyone’s life gets hard at times, BUT more than 4-5 years on the free room and board train HAS got to STOP!!! And the leadership in this country better be vigelent because Osama bin Laden cycles about every 8 – 10 years and I expect him to be back and twice as nasty. What good are economic reform if there is no one around to enjoy it!!!
Qoute -” The greatest rule of safety is justice, and stopping injustice and aggression. It was said: Oppression kills the oppressors and the hotbed of injustice is evil. The situation in occupied Palestine is an example. What happened on 11 September [2001] and 11 March [the Madrid train bombings] is your commodity that was returned to you.

It is known that security is a pressing necessity for all mankind. We do not agree that you should monopolise it only for yourselves. Also, vigilant people do not allow their politicians to tamper with their security.”

Been wanting to run these kind of numbers for quite a while now and haven’t had the time. Excellent work! I think we’re a little too quick to assume there are sound research methods behind the articles we read; wish everyone explained their thought process like you did.

Nick,

Thanks for your response. That is a great article and sparks even more ideas for research that I need to look into. And I agree, no taxation without representation. Those higher taxes mean a beer subsidy would need to be in order.
