Phillies on Taxes and the DeficitPhillies on Taxes and the Deficit

Taxes - The first tax we need to end is the grandchild tax, the tax that goes on forever and buys you the taxpayer absolutely nothing. Our skyrocketing national debt eats up every penny saved by all Americans. The only way we can borrow the national debt is by borrowing from foreigners. We end the grandchild tax by cutting spending. Will we cut...? No matter the choice, the answer has to be 'Yes. We have to cut that too.' The national debt chews up capital, so that savings that are no longer available to pay for new factories, better roads, or energy-saving home improvements.

The Budget Deficit - George Bush and his Democratic and Republican allies just gave America the biggest tax increase in history. It's called the budget deficit and it has a unique twist: You spend the money. Your grandkids get the bill, labeled 'interest on the national debt'. The grandchild tax is a terrible gift for our grandchildren. We should end the grandchild tax and pay our own bills. Federal debt should only be created in the direst of national emergencies and should be promptly discharged when the emergency is over.

Corporate Welfare - Your neighbors should make money by selling desired goods and services, not by bribing Congressmen to give them subsidies out of your tax payments. Corporate welfare should be brought to an end.
