Noah Berger’s Feb. 12 op-ed “Tax cuts that continue to haunt the state” gets it exactly wrong. Tax cuts are not a “cost.” Taxes are a cost.
Lower taxes permit those actually earning the money to pay for the essentials of daily living as well as set aside funds for savings and future investment. The real question is: Are we making the best possible use of the taxes that we do collect?

Since many private-sector CEOs fly around in private jets and make millions of dollars a year, I'd say they aren't exactly the cost-saving responsibility models we want the public sector to follow.
kate, the private sector doesn't cost the tax payer.........
@migh I don't think you read my comment. I said the private sector is no role model of spending wisely.
just look at the fraud in Welfare, that's the tip of the iceberg. You'd have to look in the herald, the globe didn't report it.
