Is this the kind of tax legislation the republicans favor? Give me a break! Whats the difference between this and what the dems support - uh, nothing?!

No wait! And thats not all! With the republicans not only do you get pandering to the AARP, but you also get the RR in your bedroom!

set aside $1.4 trillion of an expected revenue surplus of $1.6 trillion over the next decade to "fix" Social Security

Great. A real fiscal conservative would dump this failed entitlement. This is EXACTLY what Reagan did last time.... yeah lets postpone the impending bankruptcy of this progam for another 20 yrs shall we? While we unfairly tax the young.... of course by that time, Newt will be dead!

making health insurance 100 percent deductible for the self-employed (a $382-a-year break for 3.3 million taxpayers);

This is ok. Good legislation.

cuts include eliminating the so-called marriage penalty,

Oh right. Yeah thats an important one - NOT. More RR family values blather in lieu of something worthwhile.

and a number of benefits aimed at seniors and families.

Seniors!!! Give me a break. Seniors are demographically the most well off segment of society thanks to their voting bloc support of redistribution of wealth from the young to the old.

When/If the republicans ACTUALLY do something like getting a flat tax through or dumping these failed entitlements then they will be a worthwhile party. In the meantime all they offer are policies that are for all intensive purposes the same as the dems.
