OT: Average wage-earning working Americans get a tiny reduction, fewer services from the government and a greater national debt (the debt is ours too which Bush never mentions) unless surpluses go as projected last year during the best of times. Upper middle-class fare somewhat better, especially those married with children. (excluding gays and singles). The poor and lower middle class get screwed as usual by the right. The rich make off like bandits. And it's all backloaded to kick in 5-9 years from now (read the fine print) after Bush is out of office (hopefully). Whereas Lieberman's better plan to give 60 billion out right now to everyone was rejected by Bush, making a hypocrite out of him. So he doesn't care about us right now. It's something else he's after. Like longterm relief for the rich. Bush campaigned promising estate tax would save "family farms". Recent study proved almost no family farms were ever impacted but mainly large estates of trust fund brats. A lot of middle-class people fell for Bush's rhetoric but they will get very little and pay for it with higher state taxes and fewer government services. I'd support Bush's plan if it would refund us right now for money we've already paid so long as he also keeps paying off the deficit. But to promise big tax breaks for the rich (mostly) way up the road when no one knows where we'll be economically is just irreponsible and not fiscally conservative. I believe Greenspan agrees too for what that's worth. I also don't have a problem lowering capital gains taxes. Hoping to get rich fast though so I can take advantage of this, assuming it passes. Or in any case. By staying long the market, selling the tops and buying the big dips. Now where's my tax refund, Mister Bush? Not.
