The tax cuts are supposed to be made in small increments. Some areas of tax law such as the Death tax (an incredibly confiscatory tax) is slated for removal and will receive bi-partisan approval. Since when does a country have the right to take half the farm, when the farmer dies? A totally unconstitutional tax, as are most! Other issues such as the so-called marriage penalty will be among the first.

Marriage is a penalty in it's own right. The tax penalty is double jeopardy ;)

I have no doubt that the tax cut and Greenspan's decisions on interest rates are now only mildly correlated, if linked at all. The economy is now in such a danger of recession that Greenspan will be lowering rates regardless.

Of course, columnists do need something to write about.
