Tax Cuts and Gregoire

Washington Governor Christine Gregoire on tax cuts:

OLYMPIA -- Gov. Christine Gregoire, increasingly concerned that tax-break fever has gripped the Legislature, warned Monday that she'll use her veto pen if her fellow Democrats get carried away.

"I have been very clear that (granting) a tax break is spending money," she told a news conference a few days before the Senate Democrats roll out their budget. "At the end of the day, we have less revenue, no matter how you cut it.

Emphasis mine. Tax cuts are not "spending money," they are keeping money in the economy thus making the economy stronger. Typical Democrat; businesses and people pay taxes to fuel government and entitlement programs while those who pay them get nothing out of the deal.

Someone should explain to Ms. Gregoire that government sells no service or creates no product. They take money from those who do and squander it according to their wishes.
