“one of the reasons for the rate cut is that that is to inflate the economy so everybody thinks that a rate cut is a good thing but really what it really is telling you that you're paying more taxes because of course if you spend more money and you go to the store more often you're paying a federal tax so the federal government needs tax dollars”
