>>If tax cuts are good, why are we borrowing money to finance the government???

Good point...I too am concerned about the size of the deficit and the size of the national debt 6.4Trillion dollars and counting...nobody even talks about the debt anymore.

I also am very tired of the class-warfar arguements that the democrats are making, but even though a lot more than just the top 1% have money in the market, I think the democrats have a decent chance of making a convincing arguement this time around(as tired as it is).

How long will it be before the point out that people like dennis kozlowski, jeff skiling, bernie ebbers, jack grubman, ken lay and gary winnick (all in the top 1%) are the "type" of people that would benefit the most from Bush's tax cut plan?...i can see the commecial now "here are the faces of the people that *screwed* the average investor out of trillions of dollars during the nineties...and here are the faces of the people that will be rewarded with bushes tax cut...(same picture on the screen)

If democrats propose a cap or phase out at certain income levels (i.e. after 500K AGI) of most of the bush provisions, I would bet better than even money that is what eventually passes...or else republicans will pay for it come november 2004.

...oh, and just for the record, I'd love to see 50% across the board tax cuts for everyone...but I, and I am apparently in the monority around here, would like to see the spending reduced first.

Republican president, rep. house, rep. senate...no more excuses about why spending is out of control.

When I purchased todays sunday paper, $1.50, it cost me an additional eleven cents for state tax. On any such purchase I pay the same rate as anyone else. Perhaps it is more fair and just to scrap the income tax and use a consumption tax. No deductions, no payments, nothing. In return it would only be fair that the government only spend what it takes in.
