Why aren't the tax cuts working? (Meow Mix)

unemployed mother

[heartsafire]

Seven years ago George bush and the republicans gave a tax cut to the wealthy. We had a recesion and as far as Im concerned we never recovered. I was working as a telemarketeer and my husband was at an assembly plant. In 2001 my husband was laid off after his job was outsourced. Then I lost my job too. My husband now works at Target and I held a job at Burger King. A week ago my job was terminated after buisness wasn't so well. Now were in another recession and Bush wants yet another tax cut? If cutting taxes didn't work before what does he thinks going to happen? I say raise them back up and give tax breaks to the poor and only the poor! We need it more after our jobs went away!

[heartsafire]

As Barack Obama said, the economic policies of Bush and the republicans have never worked and aren't going t0 work so just whats the point of cutting taxes if it aint going to make jobs for us or bring back our jobs?

You do know that this is a conservative board...don’t you? I think you were looking for DK or DU.

[Incorrigible]

Long, long time since IBTZ!

Welcome to FreeRepublic.

How do you give a tax break to someone who doesn’t pay taxes?

[jazusamo]

IBTZ!

[DemforBush]

IBTZ?

[georgiagirl_pam]

[Rocko]

IBTZ....

[JRios1968]

Hmmm...what’s that smell...ozone and patchouli?

You won’t last long here...

[from occupied ga]

I smell a troll.

And I thought I stepped in dog squeeze, but you're right it's a troll. Much worse smell than dog stuff.

[Notary Sojac]

beat the zot, first time ever!

[metesky]

I haven't been in so fast in a long time, sweetie.

So long!

[chrisser]

Seven years ago, you and your husband saw there were no jobs in your entry-level careers and you did nothing? And now you’re blaming Bush because there still aren’t lots of jobs in entry-level careers?

Maybe its time to stop blaming Bush and start blaming yourselves for not taking control of your lives and careers.

[Onelifetogive]

IBTZ!!!

[boxerblues]

Cant give a tax break to someone who doesnt pay taxes, you have already welshed off of my paycheck enough

[agooga]

We can’t help you here— unless you’re willing to listen, that is.

[Bushbacker1]

Surprised she’s lasted this long. Zot is in order here.

[Cicero]

Is this part of that $7 million dollar campaign announced yesterday to villify Bush until the election, just to make sure his reputation isn’t “rehabilitated” like Reagan?

[MarkL]

Hey, it’s my first IBTZ!

I have a question for you... How much in federal income tax did you pay, and how much would you like to have those taxes cut?

A week ago my job was terminated after buisness wasn't so well.

That a shame. I wish you good on your future endevvers.

[ECM]

Hello and goodbye.

[Clemenza]

I've been up double digits in my portfolio since 2002, and I am far from being "one of the rich." Even many Democratic economists have concluded that the tax cuts ended a rather mild recession following the tech bust and 9/11.

You are Sofa King We Todd Ed.

[DaveLoneRanger]

In before the zot (just in case), longer post to follow.

[G.Mason]

In before the ZOT?

[backinthefold]

WOO HOO

IBTZ

[andyandval]

Did your Mom pass out in front of the computer again?

[Darksheare]

The patchouli oil scent is unmistakable.
The Earth Mother clothing and the Birkenstocks just confirm it.
We’ll need to go to MOPP 4 and decon after this one.

[Madame Dufarge]

I was working as a telemarketeer

As if wearing those stupid ears wasn't humiliation enough...

[TCats]

“My husband now works at Target and I held a job at Burger King.”

Couldn’t come up with a better icon of failed policies? Where’s Walmart in this sad story? IBZ (I hope)

[JamesP81]

IBTZ. I hope you brought lead underpants, troll.

[The Louiswu]

IN B4 ZOT!!!!

[JamesP81]

Apparently, there is a bridge somewhere missing its troll.

[OCCASparky]

IBTZ!!! Buh-bye, troll.

The tax policies did work.

Your husband worked in an industry strangled by Unions (Unions=Democrats).

You worked in an industry that has a higher turnover rate than a cheap whore.

Unemployment now is still lower than in the 90s and the rise that recently occurred is due to layoffs caused by crooked brokers and dumb ass bankers giving people like you loans they knew they could not afford.

So Buck Up. Move if you have to...I did...to find work. there are plenty of god paying jobs out there.

And stop drinking the KoolAid the Dems are serving, you like will improve dramatically.

[HoosierHawk]

IN!!

[TChris]

IB4TZ?

Quit listening to Obama on the subject of economics. Buy a book by Dr. Thomas Sowell and you might just learn the answer to your question.

(Here's a hint: The "wealthy" pay nearly all taxes, and they also are the ones who create jobs.)

[SE Mom]

Where to begin...

[agrace]

We had a recession AFTER the tax cuts? LOL

[metesky]

It's Friday, have a heart.
;O)

[boxerblues]

lol its all Burger KiIngs fault for not selling the Whopper anymore, unlike what the little troll is trying to sell

[milwguy]

Exactly my sentiments. My college age kids who work menial jobs will be getting ‘rebate’ checks from the benevolent gov’t, while I, who am paying for their college, will not see a penny, because my wife and I have the misfortune of making too much. This’rebate’ is just yet another example of the redistribution of wealth from those hard working, smart, or fortunate enough to do well in this country to those who are too lazy, not bright enough, or just unlucky in some way.

[Bushbacker1]

I was working as a telemarketeer...

You do know that telemarketers can't telemarket anymore?

[Darksheare]

How many times have the obstructionist Dems done anything for America other than RAISE taxes which stifles growth and harms the poor you are screaming about?

[poobear]

How do you give tax cuts to people WHO DON’T PAY TAXES MORON!

ZOT!!!!

[The Louiswu]

"I say raise them back up and give tax breaks to the poor and only the poor!"

How can you give tax breaks to people who don't pay taxes?
