The RNC prompted me to act by forwarding me an email update. They want me to encourage you to support President Bush's economic incentives plan. I, however, wish to speak more broadly.
Tax cuts will and can boost the economy. However, tax cuts absent decreases in spending will only take out a line of credit that it already costs too much to keep afloat yearly. It is irresponsible, and as the "business party" the only reason I can think of Republicans supporting such an idea is that it's somebody else's money. Well, it's not, as we all pay taxes -- including those taxes that pay the stupidly-high interest payments on the national debt.
Big government is the problem. Tax cuts should represent a little governmental restraint. However, without concurrent spending cuts, tax cuts only represent big government using our children's tax dollars to fund big government now. Do Republicans really want to cut into big government, put it on a diet, and make it lose some weight, or is the party line mere lip service?
Pass the tax cut -- but only after you've cut the budget. Congressmen and Senators are like children when it comes to spending, often not knowing when to say "no." The problem is only worse when our trusted public servants can't be bothered to look past today's buyoff by the nearest "BigCorp" exchanging campaign money for political favors. It is a silly neo-nepotism that must end lest our nation keep spiraling downward in terms of efficiency and responsibility of government.
I live in the 60605 zip code, and am a constituent. I am a laywer in Chicago.
I don't expect you to listen. I know you are busy, I know you get lots of mail, and I am mindful that you may well be as owned as most politicians in that useless bureaucratic hell-hole known as D.C. But, at least I'll sleep a little better knowing I tried.
