Americans cannot do the things that need to be done because of huge taxcuts to the wealthy...

The last time we had a balanced budget was at the end of the Clinton Administration. There was an actual surplus.

However, George W Bush persuaded the voters that the surplus was "their money" and proceeded to give a huge tax cut to the most wealthy. There is never a bad time for a tax cut in the Republican world.

If we fast forward to today's debate over infrastructure and things that need to be done for the people, Republicans are quick to say that it is not paid for. They refuse to raise taxes to pay for what needs to be done. Even after the $2 trillion dollar tax cut at the beginning of the Trump Administration, they cannot raise any taxes to help the people.

They can only cut taxes. It would be a sin to do otherwise.
