<<The only way to stop the spending is to stop giving the congress money to spend and put in a flat tax.>> These are two separate issues. The amount of money congress has to spend is a different issue than how much of the total is paid by various categories of taxpayers. Regarding tax cuts, I hope one doesn't forget that the when the deficit really took off was the last time congress enacted a massive tax cut. Regarding how much the government spends, 60% of federal spending is for the "middle class welfare" programs (social security and medicare), national defense, and interest on the debt. If you wish to stop giving congress the money to spend, I would assume you have some ideas of which of these areas we should cut? Or should we reserve all the cuts for the other 40% of the budget?
