Bush said that he would that he would pursue tax cuts every year that he is in office, and he is just keeping his word.

"people are more concerned about job losses then tax cuts right now. he is going to the well too many times with this."

How about a big Corporate tax-break to all domestic US manufacturers.

If the manufacturing industry gets to keep more of it's money, then they will start to hire aggresively, thus neutralizing a major Democratic criticism of Bush.

"people are more concerned about job losses then tax cuts right now."

I agree. However, how does the President keep jobs from going offshor and overseas? How does the President control how companies run their manufacturing / business practices? Other than pushing for relief concerning over-regulation and making it tax-friendly to business, what can the President do to make businesses stay or to "increase jobs" as being government and not private sector?

I am no economist, so this is an area I really don't understand... I heard that Sony was doing great, but laying off thousands of workers because they have 'automated' them out of a job... what can be done about that by any President?

"he is going to the well too many times with this."

As for the spending, I agree. On one hand it's Congress that really are the out-of-control spenders and not holding the spending, but ont the other, it's the President that either signs or vetos spending beyond what he boldly stated he would hold at what? 4 percent or something?

I've only heard of two tax cut plans even being on the table: a complete repeal of the income tax (replaced by a sales tax) and a plan to make the existing tax cuts "permanent."

So I doubt that it's some new, additional income tax cut proposal for either businesses or individuals...whatever this particular rumor turns out to be.

people need to understand that more jobs will be created if taxes are reduced - the electorate knows this - if he wants to get elected again, he needs to pledge to cut taxes more
