There are other ways to influence representatives to cut taxes.

I would be surprised if there weren't a lot of tax cuts this year.

It's not a steep cut. But this budget continues the erosion that's been going on for six years.

I characterize it as a continued weakening of the partnership between the federal government and the states and a continuation of a trend that's been going on for several years of cost shifting to the states.

My mother was a big influence; she was exceedingly chic, completely dressed in a completely different manner than I did. I was a child of the Depression, so she taught me all about accessories, and I always tell everybody she worships at the altar of the accessory.

They have two extra days for federal taxes because the 15th falls on a Saturday.
