The Cult of the Tax Cut

Their mantra: "No mo' money, no; Reagan yo!"

Tax Cut Lunacy

Ever since Bush 41's defeat in 1992, Republicans -- especially Bush 43 -- have committed themselves to the proposition that they will never, ever cross the tax-cutting Republican right. Taxes will be cut in good times and in bad. They will not be raised, no matter how much the government decides to spend. If preserving Republican unity requires throwing the entire cost of the war in Iraq onto the next generation, go for it. Does the Pentagon need big spending increases? Fine, but don't even think about paying for them with new taxes.

Tax cutting is now the idol of the Republican shrine.

I hear the GOP once tried to ban syntax until someone explained to them that it wasn't spelled "sin tax".
