Re: Federal tax holiday to stimulate the economy

I can live with that.

I could too, but I think that the odds to this actually happening are about 99,999,999,999 to 1 againt: The problems are two-fold. If they were to do that, the government loses control over who does and doesn't get the cuts. One thing that the government HATES is giving up power of any sort, and their favorite sort of power is setting just how much of our earnings we get to keep.

Secondly, if people were to suddenly realize just how much they are paying in taxes, even if they get it all back at the end of the year, politicians would have one hell of a time trying to reinstate the taxes.

So, even though it would be easy, cheap, immediately take effect, and it makes sense, I have no doubt that the congress will never do it.
