taxes

My edits might not be NPOV, but neither was the original - eg the estate tax: most of the money from the estate tax is capital gains that have NEVER been taxed, hence, abolishing the estate tax is exactly, in NPOV factual terms, largely a gift to the wealthy, who are the ones with estates large enough to tax.Cinnamon colbert (talk) 22:47, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He still favors abolishing it. Don't be disruptive to make a point.--S TX 22:51, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was responding to the article as written: it says, he favors lowering taxes on the middle class and he favors abolishing the estate tax.

If you accept my assertion that about 2/3 of the money collected by estate tax is from previously untaxed capitial gains, and that these are largely gains of the wealthy, then greatly reducing taxes on the wealthy would appear to contradict, or at least be in fiscal conflict with, reducing taxes on the middle class, eg, if you need a certain amount of revenue, and you lower taxes on the wealthy, it is hard to also lower taxes on the middle class without large deficits or large cuts in spending. That Hunter has apparently contradictory positions on one of the most important functions of govt is, I think, worth noting; perhpas it needs a special section.Cinnamon colbert (talk) 14:39, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't try to make a political point. Read Supply-side economics.--S TX 23:45, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

gun ownership

remove "supports 2nd amendment" as this is ambiguous: people who are "progun" (NRA) and "antigun" (Brady ) both claim they are the true interpreters of the 2nd amendment.Cinnamon colbert (talk) 20:03, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree.--S TX 23:45, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Immigration section

I changed the Minuteman link to head to The Minuteman Project Inc. The item was unsourced; it's possible that it's supposed to be Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. dcd139 (talk) 15:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
