WHO’S AFRAID OF THE FISCAL CLIFF? (Patrick J. Buchanan)

“U.S. tax rates are too high for the world we must compete in. The tax burden — federal, state, local, together — is too heavy. We need to cut tax rates to free up our private and productive sector and pull this economy out of the ditch.”

Really? The average Republican's first thought is that taxes are too high to compete in the world? I don't think so.

Let me try: "Taxes are too high and they're killing us."

There, that's my first thought.

What are the perils for Republicans who sign on to an Obama deal?

Or how about this. No taxes, every federal tax rescinded.

Then as a free market economy we take in all the money that flowed out of the country to somewhere else. The United States has NO TAXES!

Manufacturing comes back, everything comes back from overseas.

The government prints money, and we take the inflation hit, but thats what we are doing now, except we are taxed on top of it, and taxes wont pay for anything now.

At least with no taxes, we have something to show for the inflation hit, and with proper money management, inflation might be down to a few points a year.

Other thing is open drilling anywhere in the US. And build the synthetic oil plants, because they make financial sense at about 60 buck a barrel for oil.

Low priced oil will take us back down to a buck a gallon for gas.
