Bush's higher energy, tuition and health care costs are all hidden taxes on working people. Ditto when he dumps 29 billion in unfunded mandates on states requiring them to raise their taxes.

It's time to return to our parents generation's morality about paying your taxes, that is, nobody likes them but it's our duty, especially when you have benefitted the most from democracy and capitalism. The rich cannot be let off easy (sometimes easier than an average worker) and if their tax breaks do not create jobs and trickle down quickly, they have to start paying their fair share again.

A roll back of the tax cuts on the rich to CLinton levels will pay for the Iraq War, education and a big chnk of health care. Without it, we just go deeper and deeper into the red. Bush's 500 billion in deficits per year are just fiscally radically and irresponsible. No excuse for it.

Spending also needs to be cut. Some will be painful, but there's a lot of pork, boondoggles and flag in the Bush-Delay budgets. Some of the Bushie pet projects like new generations of nuclear weapons and Star Wars satellites may have to be cut. SDI doesn't work anyway.
