Don't be naive, or ignorant, or just plain old deceptive.

If you want to discuss this sensibly, talk about the percentage of income paid by the very wealthy, ask why Warren Buffet said the tax cuts were a ripoff of the other brackets for the benefit of people in his top brackets, ask why economists have generally universally acknowledged that the Bush tax cuts are based on borrowed money which will be disproportionately paid back by THE MIDDLE CLASS while the the UPPER TAX BRACKETS will receive a proportionate break compared to what they would have had to pay without the "tax break," and ask why the Bush himself stated when the second round of tax cuts was discussed, "haven't we done enough for the wealthy?"

So cut taxes again and again if you want, but don't be surprised when the bills come due and your share went way, way up. That's when your little "tax break" will be repaid and that's when you'll find that you're also repaying a much bigger "tax break" that the rich got.

But as long as you get that few hundred of borrowed money disguised as a tax break, you don't mind paying off thousands of dollars in debt later, right?

Of course by then the Bush Administration will be out of office and you'll be able to blame it all on some other party.
