So I guess if people stopped cheating the tax system, we wouldn't have a huge deficit.

Yes.. that in addition to the tax breaks we're getting plus the war.. When it all adds up, it certainly isn't helping. sad.gif

Hey, the 1980's proved that tax breaks for corporations and the rich have a trickle-down effect on the economy…

I don't think this has anything to do with that.

There's a difference between being given a tax break, and outright refusing to pay taxes.
