P.S. As you might be able to infer, I generally oppose tax cuts and favor tax increases because it is the fiscally responsible version of "starve the beast" -- instead of cutting taxes, creating massive deficits that saddle our descendants with horrific debt necessitating draconian program slashing in the name of government survival, I want to increase taxes, paying off our debt, until public pressure demands that fat be trimmed and unnecessary programs be cut back to allow a commensurate tax break. I think we have different opinions on where the equilibrium lies (between what people want and what they'll pay for), but that's not relevant at all.
P.P.S. Assertion: "Starve the beast" is an abomination either idiotic or evil depending on how stupid its proponents are. Challenge: agree/disagree.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
