Only if the government pays back all the Social Security contributions plus the 10% the contributions would have earned in the stock market. Do you favor that?
Even if those who receive the tax cuts DO leave all of that savings to the next generation, the burden will not be evenly distributed.
That's a great argument to not cut taxes. Don't cut taxes because everyone doesn't earn the same income. Sounds vaguely like from each according to his ability....
Person A may receive a portion of the savings in inheritance and Person B may receive nothing.
Well, what if Person B's Dad was on welfare his entire life?
Sure, no problem. A tax-cut is the government taking less of my money from me, so if I were to return the favor all I have to do is tell the government to give me less social security, farm subsidies, and other similar welfare payments.
OK, this isn't the intent of post 34. I worry that the intent is a lot worse. I hate to think that the phrase "repay the tax cut" assumes that all wealth belongs to the public and any tax-cut is a gift from the government to the tax payer. My position is that wealth belongs to those who create it, and it is the tax that is the gift --from the individual to the government.
You can't "repay the tax cut" to the government any more than you can "repay a discount price" on a bargain at Wal-Mart.
