I find it amusing that some of you are advocating for more. Crazy.
Large government budgets are spending. Taxes finance a budget. Cut the budgets (as they are doing now) and cut the tax needed to finance a budget.

Taxes are resources. When you free them up, put them in companies and individuals hands, they go to another need, usually a form of direct expense/spending, which stimulates more economic activity. Giving it away to the government, who very slowly and not very well planned out.

I find it odd some people advocate for new taxes (cap and trade), but to each his own I guess.
