If tax breaks are always so good why don't we just eliminate taxes?

Also, doesn't the bill as is contain hundreds of billions in tax breaks? Shouldn't these work to stimulate the economy while the other spending keeps the ship right side up?

Again, I think there is wasteful spending in the bill, but a lot of line items, for instance spending to help communities not have to fire teachers and police, is probably needed, but the GOP is branding this as Liberal Pork.
