Tax Cuts, The Final Solution

Ask any Republican, and now any Democrat, what should be done to boost our economy and create jobs, and the answer is always tax cuts, in particular extending the Bush tax cuts from 2001 and 2003. After all, they've done a heckuva job, haven't they? We should keep what's working, shouldn't we?

Let's say tax cuts really are the end all, be all. Then why not eliminate all taxes. Think how great the economy would be then. Everyone who wants to work would work again. Everyone who wants to buy a house will have the money to buy one. All workers could keep all of their money, not pay those pesky Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes, income taxes. They wouldn't have to pay property taxes, gasoline taxes, on and on.

Lots of pluses to this no-tax solution: No politicians, no wars, no subsidies, no unemployment compensation, no schools, on and on. Why, I ask, is anyone fighting these tax cuts? So simple, so easy.
