When has that ever worked? Tax cuts don't actually make the government more efficient, they just cut the amount of benefits that actually make it to the citizen. You can't tell me that the goverment has been running any more efficiently since the bush tax cuts. It also seems like tax cuts generally bring with them an increasing deficit. You don't have to be an economist to see that record deficits are far from the most efficient of economic policies. You can ask our grandchildren how they feel about our "efficient" tax policies if you live long enough.
Back to the front:
I think the issue is that bush is hiding behind s-corporations. If he really wanted to write in exemptions for them into the tax code he could have a lackey do so. Cutting taxes for everyone in the highest bracket and claiming that he did it all for the s-corp nookie seems kind've like levelling an ant hill with a bull dozer.
