Pawlenty’s $11.6 trillion tax-cut plan, which reduces rates on income, capital gains, interest, estates and dividends, is almost three times larger than the proposals endorsed by House Republicans.

3. They want to kill government as we know it
It appears the easiest way to do that is to just reduce revenues to zero.

When will Americans stop voting in people who hate government to run the government?
