Okay, good start... he cut taxes for everyone... who are the rich? They got the same tax cut you got, $300.00, and that's it... and the rich pay a much higher percentage of tax, 36.8%, so 300 bucks is much less of a return for them, so if they also received 300 bucks, so what? You make it sound like it's a crime to be wealthy... besides, the purpose of the tax refund was to stimulate the economy, which it indeed did... even Greenspan said that without the tax refund we would now be in a depression... you also have to realize that most of "the rich," whatever that really means, don't even pay taxes, they have all kinds of tax incentives to create jobs... also, most any successful small business owner is generally counted among "the rich," so don't take aim at some distant label as if those people are some kind of monsters... kerry wants to tax those same people who could use that money to hire new people and create jobs, but he's taken a populist position to ignite emotions, like yours, but when you stop and think about it for a moment, kerry's tax increase will effect everyone, including you...
