On Health Care: $776B tax cut plan helps people afford health care

Kasich was asked, “How could the government help with senior’s prescription costs?” Kasich gave the same answer he gives to almost every other question these days: Government can help by cutting taxes. More specifically, by using the post-deficit era’s budget surpluses to slash federal income-tax rates 10% across the board -- a total of $776 billion in tax cuts over 10 years. Under the Kasich plan, an average family would save $840 a years in income taxes.

On Principles & Values: Tax cuts and national renewal

Kasich’s tax cut plan is woven into a message about national renewal. “It’s not just about putting more money into people’s pockets,” he argues. “People are hungry to believe again in this country and in themselves. They want to be inspired.” Kasich can be inspirational-he has a long history as a maverick fighting corporate welfare and Pentagon excess. And he’s the only contender who can claim to have been thrown off the stage at a Grateful Dead concert-while he was a Congressman.
