Tax cut
A caller said, "Regarding the Republican tax bill: Give a poor man a dollar and he will spend it. Give a rich man a dollar and he will move it to an offshore account." Yet another Democrat who can dish out the generalizations without realizing the idiocy of the statement. I'm a Republican, and I plan to take any additional money in my pocket the same way I already do: 20 percent to charity, 20 percent to my church, and 60 percent back into my business so I can hire another employee who needs a job.

Transparency and the public's right to know demands it.
