Granted, this is a simplification and taxes aren’t the only variable in the equation here, but how does the tax cut crowd reconcile this discrepancy? They believe that tax cuts are the answer, yet they have 16 years of evidence to the contrary looking them straight in the eye.

You are making the mistake that they are doing anything other than parroting their neo-con puppet-masters. There is no thought process here.

Taxation isn’t theft. Its the price we all pay for enjoying the benefits of a stable society. In fact, *not* paying taxes (or hiring undocumented workers) *is* theft, as your stealing services from those that have paid into the system.

If you don’t like CA taxes, move. Please. And take your crappy taco stand with you.
