As long as our country is running a deficit there is no reasonable argument that we should pay lower taxes. None whatsoever.
Go over to that "world meters" thread and look at those mind-boggling numbers in the various spending programs. Common sense says you can't keep running that on borrowed money.
I wasn't really making this argument, so I don't know why you pounced on it. Attacking trickle-down is attacking the redistribution of wealth upwards to the rich. And, unlike me, the rich don't go out and spend that money - not all of it. They bank it for future generations -- which does nothing to help the economy.
