Because what happened was when people got a tax break on things that they had to have, they would channel those savings into buying things that they wanted to have and that they had been saving up for with their families. And other States started coming across the border to take advantage of that holiday. It's a simple concept that we need others to understand: when you let families and businesses keep more of their money and you put the decision about how they spend that money in their hands, America prospers.
