Politically, I believe taxes must be cut first and then services. Politicians will not cut services unless there is the pressure of tax cuts. It's like a drug addict who keeps saying that all he needs is "one last hit", and then he will be able to quit. Don't believe it! Why do you keep harping on this "super-rich" nonsense? I have already pointed out that they received less of a tax cut (proportionally) than the middle-class received. In my opinion, it is unhealthy and unstable for the economy to depend so heavily on the "super-rich" anyway. I think the only viable solution is a flat tax enforced by a constitutional amendment. That will force everyone to pay an equal fair share, and it will force politicians to live within the available tax revenue.
