Duh. When dual income parents with three kids have zero or negative disposable income, while the "rich or near rich" get tax cuts to increase their disposable income, there is something wrong with the system. If the dual incomes aren't very small they should have enough to have disposable incomes. If it is small then they probably are not net federal income tax payers. If they do pay income taxes then their taxes where cut as well. Anyway the tax system still continues to favor the non-rich over the rich and near rich. On a relative basis, disposable income / income, it certainly doesn't. On an basis of reduction in percentage of tax paid the non-rich usually do better then the rich unless they where paying no taxes in the first place. Yes the rich will have more disposable income so an expense that both of them pay will be a smaller percentage of the rich persons income. There is no injustice in that fact. while Bush spends like a drunken sailor on war and nation building I share your concerns about the spending. I suspect that if I was setting the level of federal government spending it would be lower then if you where setting it. In any case most of the spending isn't on war or nation building. new entitlement programs that benefit the suppliers not the end users I suspect that it will also benefit (at least in a direct sense, indirectly government intervention in these things can cause problems) the end users, but I am no fan of any new entitlement. Do you call yourself a conservative or a neo-conservative? Or just a partisan? Conservative, with a touch of libertarian. I would greatly reduce government spending but the areas where I feel it is most legitimate are probably some of the areas that you dislike the most. I don't see any reason to think Kerry would be better on spending. He wants to tax more but not spend less. Also spending, while an important issue to me, is not the only one and I don't see any reason to think Kerry would be better on the other issues. Tim
