Although times are still tough for many families, we must stick to the plan – cutting taxes on work and business to build a stronger economy.

Tax cuts for the rich and businesses never works if there is no demand. Tax cuts for the poor while better isn’t going to make much of a difference because the issue is not taxes it’s low wages and unemployment/underemployment.

Where is the increased welfare spending?
