Just a few notes.
Decreasing taxes will mean more money to the government. This is because:
1. Less people will avoid paying their taxes.
2. Lower taxes mean a more prosperous economy which in turn will mean more
taxes.
I personally think that the income tax in Israel is outrageous and need not be
further increased.
Furthermore, there is a lot of government waste in Israel and elsewhere, and
taking it out of the budget for good will be a Good Thing<tm>.
