Economist: Our economy' s weakness is the direct result of consumers' continued reluctance to spend, which in turn is caused by factors such as high-priced goods and services  This reluctance is exacerbated by the fact that the average income is significantly lower than it was five years ago
Thus, even though it is not a perfect solution, if the government were to lower income taxes, the economy would improve
Consumers will be less reluctant to spend money if income taxes are lowered.
