Isn't it true that no country has ever lowered taxes while in a military conflict. Yet Bush 2 proposes tax relief for the rich.

Called the "Trickle Dumb Theory" by top economists, Bush Jr. plans to enforce tougher penalties for drug abusers, provided extended family members are not involved.

Kaya,
Do you believe a couple, a teacher and nurse with a combined income of 90K is rich?

Most of any tax cut would go to the top 10% because they pay 90% of all income taxes. How do you give a tax cut to the other 90% that are not paying much taxes if any? You socialist believe the top 10% should pay 100% and it should be raised every year.

Don't you get it. We do not want a socialist country.

kaya,
i hope you don't disappear on this one.

The problem is that in America the top 1% have duped the top 20% into thinking that they are rich, when they are just middle class.

I'm not a socialist and don't want a socialist country either.
As usual your missing the point, it's not a time to cut taxes for anyone.

FSB,
so 90K is not rich right. do you want to take the top 1% money and give it away. would that be right?

Families earning 90K and up make up the top 10% of American families in income.

90-100K is right on the line between Upper Middle Class and the Lower Upper Class

Thus, if the tax cut helps only the top 10%, there is no reason for the other 90% of the electorate to support it.

Well, the government is just the collective will of the people.

And unfortuneately for the very rich, they are outnumbered 10-to-1 where the will of the people is involved.

Fortuneately for the very rich, however, the lower and middle classes are very apathetic and content playing second fiddle to the rich.
