It seems weird to use the word "deserves" here, as if tax cuts were doled out depending on who has been naughty and who has been nice. I would prefer tax policy thought up more in terms of budget needs and setting the right economic incentives, but I guess us all being humans makes this unavoidable.
- slg 9y agoI agree. I gave the word "deserves" a second thought when I initially wrote the comment. The proper word is somewhere between "needs" and "deserves", but I don't know what it is. I think most people reading this on HN, probably don't "need" a tax cut but I am betting a decent percentage feel they "deserve" a tax cut if the government has already decided that a tax cut is going to be given out.
- derekp7 9y agoHow about "usefully benefits"? where "usefully" is defined as improved quality of life, and/or most able to apply that to improving the economy.
