Remember that when you hear the words "TAX CUTS" it means for the rich, and only them. What does it do somebody to have their taxes cut a few hundred dollars on an 80 grand per year salary? Nothing... the insurance companies just swallow that up at the rate they are raising premiums. The potential for rich and corporate tax contributions here are lost because they are allowed to just skip out of the country and take their money elsewhere. Yet if you or I wanted to do that, we'd be arrested! Reagan's theory of "trickle down" was a farce given the factor of human nature being a greedy one, and if you or I were allowed to do it, I'd run with it, yet the rich do it on a scale that is far more accelerated because the laws favor them. I know that wages have been actually going DOWN if you factor in inflation and the cost of living, but wages alone can't do it, there must be a hard yank on the "reverse" lever of this train if it's going to be balanced out.
