Another reason to like Fred: he “gets it” on making the tax cuts permanent:
Now, as before, politicians are itching to fund their pet projects with the short-term revenue increases that come from tax hikes, ignoring the long-term pain they always cause. Unfortunately, the tax cuts that have produced our record-breaking government revenues and personal incomes [...]

The Greening of Gingrich
April 10th, 2007 · No Comments
