Lower taxes are the only real check on the expanding size and scope of the federal government. If we want smaller government, our best strategy is to reduce the amount of money Congress has to play with. Elected officials should keep their promises. As a candidate, Bush promised to cut income taxes. As president, he should keep that promise.
Tax cuts unite the Republican base.
George Bush raised taxes and lost the next election. I wager this is a lesson not lost on George W. Bush. President Bush should drop his weak argument and focus on those that work.
