Once they got into power, they conveniently forgot that promise just like the others they made. How do you cut income and property taxes and still pay a $50 billion debt? Simple. Just use the "voodoo economics" of your hero Reagan and the "borrow and spend" policies of Whitman and W. The Dems are no better. It's just more of the same old BS--elect us and we'll give you a free lunch! Then when they get elected they eat the free lunch and we get stuck with the bill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20985341.post-22352847181315083652007-09-19T16:57:00.000-04:002007-09-19T16:57:00.000-04:00Teddy Roosevelt said...

The last time the republicans talked...I don't know. The last time the republicans talked about cutting our taxes was when Whitman did her version of voodoo economics and cut the income tax. Then our property taxes started to rise to make up for the cuts in state aid to the local municipalities. Now they want to try cutting taxes again AND give a break for property taxes. Where do we make up the shortfall? Also, as funny as it sounds, $1 billion is not enough to do any permanent damage to the skyrocketing cost of property taxes. <BR/>I do like the I&R proposals...always have. I think its important to bring certain things to the people to vote on. Not everything though. We need to trust our representatives to do the right thing on most issues. If not, why bother with elections. (Some might say that that's the best statement of all)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
