I think it's foolish that people aren't looking at the big picture. Yes, one percent cuts here and there for a sales tax might not be much but the goal is not to reap savings from these cuts alone. The larger goal is to eliminate the entire sales tax; all seven percent through a series of small and manageable cuts. We shouldn't be judging these fiscal policy measures individually but rather as a whole sum.
