The CBO was tasked by the Democrats to use any means(numbers)necessary to obtain the desired results, that the rich gained disproportionately to the poor and middle class. Some imaginative Democrats in the CBO, non-partisan you know, decided to take the tax savings of the rich and assume they would, of course, be invested as all rich do. The resultant theoretical capital gains , interest and dividends, based on 2001 investment return figures from the IRS, was then added to the tax savings of the only the rich, as we all know the middle and lower economic classes do not invest. This mathematical ledgergermain, plus figuring in payroll taxes proved beyond a shadow of a doubt the tax reduction favored the rich. As you know, the unreal figures have been used to show President Bush is only for the wealthy. The lying demohacks have pulled another fast one on the gullible public. It's called a Kerryism. Such as "the public has been Kerryed". This math is similar to the math used by Kerry as to how many Purple Hearts he obtained. Notice, I did not say earned. Who said "liars figure and figures lie"?
