West said now is the time to reform the tax code, lower taxes on business, eliminate the capital gains tax and fight for the adoption of a Constitutional balanced budget amendment.
“I say we start looking at every government agency and program that’s been created in the last ten years, and let’s start making some hard choices,” said West, who received a loud cheer when he singled out the Environmental Protection Agency.
I would prefer a spending control amendment. Dems would use the balanced budget as an excuse to raise taxes to cover more spending and programmes. Find a way to set Federal spending at a fixed, low percentage of GDP.
