His plan does reduce taxes on most people. The wealthy who pay pretty much all of the taxes (the top 1% pay about 35% of all income taxes) do get the biggest breaks, but that is as it should be. They pay more taxes they should get a bigger piece of the cut. None of these cuts are permanent though. They reverse after about 10 years I believe. In any case this is just a smokescreen to keep us from demanding solutions to the real problem.

The real issue here is our government spending more money than it takes in. We need to see significant reductions in our budget and get the deficit under control. They keep us all distracted with this tax plan or that tax plan so we don't press them on the real issue. Until they get their spending under control, no tax plan is worth the paper it is written on. They are essentially borrowing money from other countries to give us a tax break that our children will be paying interest on for decades to come.

I would love to see an amendment to the Constitution that requires a balanced budget and outlaws spending outside of the voted upon budget and deficit spending except in a few limited cases (e.g. to pay for a war actually declared by Congress). We should be taking 10% of the tax money we take in and use it to pay down are debt and use the rest to run our government. We won't be able to continue borrowing forever and when the time comes to pay the bill, it could bankrupt not only our country but most of the world economy.
