bigger better ‘stimulus package’ ... suspend all gas and fuel taxes...
Sorry, it’s not really an opportunity.
I’ll tell you in advance the Democrats’ repsonses later in the year.
If the stimulus helps the economy: “No, it wasn’t the stimulus package that did it. It was the market itself. The package actually slowed our recovery. And it increased our debt!!!”
If the stimulus package doesn’t help: “See? We told you it wouldn’t work. What we need is more money for the federal government to fix this (higher taxes).”
Bank on it.
No, it's not. At it's top and bottom it's taking from high wage earners (who won't be seeing a "rebate" check) and giving it, in many cases, to people who paid no taxes in the first place.
This is not ...
an admission that the money should have remained in private hands and should never have gone to the goverment in the first place
...it's Washington, once again, telling us that they will take care of everything for us.
How do the Republicans pass a tax cut without controll of the congress, which would have to pass the legislation?
