The wing-nut republican "Club for Growth" press release/web page thing that has painted Sens. Olympia Snowe of Maine and George Voinovich of Ohio as Francophiles for opposing the Bush tax giveaway (I have not deciphered that particular bit of twisted logic yet) has a statement on their web site that equates tax-cuts with fighting terrorism.

"Now is not the time to cave in to the big spenders in Congress. We must stoke the fires of America's powerful engine of economic growth so that it runs on all cylinders. A strong economy is necessary for a strong America. This is precisely the strategy Ronald Reagan used to win the Cold War. We triumphed against the Soviet Union thanks to a combination of vast military and economic prosperity. The goal of the terrorists is to disable the U.S. economy. Pro-growth tax cuts are a powerful defense mechanism to foil this strategy," said Mr. Moore.(emphasis added)

If this logic held water, wouldn't Israel have the lowest marginal tax rate in the world?
