cool, I think we're in agreement
you didn't mention any "social" issues so I see you are a true conservative in the traditional sense
taxes definitely do suck
what should we cut first?
Which tax?
I'd start with the income tax. I think (notice I didn't say
feel) that the progressive tax is immoral and penalizes success when we should be rewarding those that work hard.
If you mean what part of the budget I'd start with the DoD, then cut or overhaul social programs, and stop giving countries that are not friendly to us our damn tax money.
That's a lot of money that can be used to rebuild our aging infrastructure and put towards the R&D alternative energy. I want the United States to be the world leader in that field and it would force countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, and Russia to change their foreign policies towards the United States and it's allies.
And "social" issues are personal. You can't have liberty without freedom.
The only "social" issues I take a stand on are abortion and the death penalty. I think both are wrong.
