Plenty of good reasons to pass the Trump tax cuts

This response is in reference to Richard Pratt’s recent letter questioning the need for tax cuts given the booming economy. A tax cut is vital for the following reasons:

■ President Donald Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises. He says what he means and he does what he says.

■ Government produces nothing. Therefore the more resources it taxes the private sector, the less our economy can expand.

■ The stock market and business and consumer confidence depend on how investors perceive future events. President Trump must deliver on his promises to fulfill these perceptions and to stimulate long-term growth.

I envision a robust business environment and high-paying jobs in repairing our infrastructure. I see millions of dependent citizens going to work and contributing to the economy as opposed to taking money and benefits they did not earn.

President Trump is a breath of fresh air in a swamp of political miasma.

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.
