This weekend when you vote, remember two facts:
1. Cutting taxes INEVITABLY means cutting spending (schools, hospitals, etc)
2. There is no good evidence that cutting taxes improves the economy

Wonderful in theory, rarely works in practice because economics is far more complex than economic theory
