You need to think of the surplus in terms of the private sector and your employment. If you were overpaid (surplus) for your job description, you not think your employer would rectify the situation, salary freeze/pay cut? If the government is raking in more than it needs by the TRILLIONS, what is the harm in giving back a minute percentage of that to the ppl whose backs it originated off of in the first place? Do you not think if there was a deficit the government would not hesitate to raise taxes? They wouldn't think twice. There isn't a valid argument for not have a tax cut, even if the surplus wasn't what it is, the government just needs to live within their means - period. Stop the waste.
