Dinwiddie has stated the following: "Tax Breaks don't lower taxes because they will just make it up somewhere else. Cutting Spending does not eliminate waste because, what gets cut is not what's wasteful. What gets cut is that with least resistance. Example 2011 when they cut funding to foster kids."
