“Tax cuts for the rich!” That’s always the complaint whenever a Republican proposes reducing the heavy tax burden that we must share in order to fill the government’s coffers long enough to pretend that there’s a non-negative net balance. “Government can’t afford a tax cut!” That’s another refrain. “If you cut taxes the deficit will grow!” is another. All three of these statements, typically uttered by Democratic politicians are of course correct, but for the wrong reasons.
