Yeah-yeah. . .bash Bush, ad nauseam. -briliant-

Taxes aren’t bad to have; they’re quite necessary, really. What is bad, however, is when you have a country that doesn’t manage it’s bureaucracy.

Paying for useless government projects, with money extracted forcefully from smart-working / hard-working people, generally results badly. The tax payer has some tolerance for "overhead cost," but there is a limit. . .which has likely long passed.

If tax cuts means some of these government slackers need to go find real jobs, producing something useful for society, I’m all for it.

If we consider California as the canary in the coal mine, the direction (smaller or larger) of the tax burden on the working/producing folks should be clear.
