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!
The mods are keeping you for the kitties to bat around for awhile.
I’m gonna take you seriously and try and answer.
They worked for a while, but they were “temporary” and everybody knows that they won’t be extended by a Democrat Legislature and President when they expire. Therefore, taxes are going up very soon, and this is what happens when businesses know that for a fact.
The entire federal income tax rate was reduced. Everyone with a paycheck got tax cuts. The 2003 tax cuts allowed me to keep $4K more of my salary per year.
Ignorance is no excuse for a vanity.
STILL IBTZ!!!
I love leftists, more of them the better. Just too easy to destroy with facts when they post emotionalism.
1. Tax cuts work. JFK did it. Was he a Republican?
2. You do not even know what “recession” means and when the economy is in one.
3. The Fed cannot give tax breaks to people who don ot pay taxes. Giving non tax payers other tax payer`s money is socialism m/marxism.
4. I suspect your whole post is a phony. ‘We`re fully grown adults and can only flip burgers for a living’, please.
Judging by your lack of rudimentary English grammar skills, it’s no wonder you’re unemployed.
A recession is defined as two quarters (that's six months) of a declining GDP. (That's "Gross Domestic Product", the amount of all goods and services produced in the economy.) The last time that happened was before the Bush Tax Cuts.
The only fault most knowledgeable people have with those tax cuts is that they could have been so much bigger. You see, when there are tax cuts people have money to spend. Sometimes on stuff like whatever you were selling in your telemarketing job, or on hamburgers and stuff. And sometimes they invest the money into new businesses.
Thanks for coming to FR with your questions. Keep axing more questions. No disrespect, but you'll learn lots of things that Oprah never told you.
They worked great. Bush’s tax cuts helped us have a strong economy for 6 years. Now we are faced with problem from shady lending practices.
I think this will be my first.
Don’t you envy me?
One reason for me is that my Texas property taxes have increased more in the last seven years than any Federal tax decrease I’ve seen under Bush..
It is Gaea’s punishment for being an unrepentent telemarketer.
Then you went to work at an evil fast food place, and again wonder why you were Devinely terminated?
Purge yourself with tofu, grits and prune juice for 30 days, while fervently asking Mother Gaea for forgiveness; join PETA; and donate one month’s salary to your local Church of Scientology; they will provide you with a career oportunity in keeping with your skills.
LOL
I think he was looking for "rump_rangers.com".
That pic looks like a Benny Hinn healing.
You, you cynic you!
How many IPods do you own?
I made it ibtz! Yipee!
Whatcha do, see, is get a highschool diploma, for starters.
Send youor husband back to school first, then when he's got his degree he can help you with your studies, maybe teach you to add and subtract, then work up to the hard stuff like LEARNING TO THINK FOR YOURSELF!
I was fired after Bush was elected and I was self employed !....now I wont even give me a job
Rotflmao...what the heck IS that?
