If we have a deficit, why are they telling us we have a surplus? All sides
of the political fence want to do the tax cut thing (they have only been
quibbling about the amounts). We ARE still primarily a capitalist system at
this point and not socialist. Such a system gives back to the people a bit
of what they put in. They then turn around and put it back somehow into the
economy and everyone (seller and buyer) pays some kind of tax on it so it
funnels back to the government, right?

They didn't have any taxes to speak of in Jefferson's day.
