Now sure spending cuts is one option, but realistically that can only go so far without being turfed. I think taxing income trusts, while cutting corporate taxes for non-income trusts is the best solution. Corporate taxes should be lowered, but they should be the same for everyone.Monkey Loves to Fighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122291567543761919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-1162830596551356192006-11-06T11:29:00.000-05:002006-11-06T11:29:00.000-05:00As much as I support tax cuts wherever possible--a...As much as I support tax cuts wherever possible--are you kidding? It would be political suicide and there would have to be large scale tax restructuring to prevent deficit problems from emerging for a number of years.
