>>Bush tax is backloaded. What we need is less expansive(doesnt have to be ten years) front loaded version which incorporates lower rates a la bush phased in, reform of the death tax and NEW demand side, money in the pockets for the middle class. For example withholding rates should be cut by 10% today pending final version.<< I, too, would like more meaningful tax relief than is currently being proposed, but Bush is stuck with what will get passed into law in a tight Senate. Already, four Republican Senators are talking aloud about breaking rank unless a "trigger" is installed. A revenue trigger would be fine, but a surplus trigger would simply give Congress a reason to spend our tax cut out of existence. I agree with Bill F. that the tight economy is giving the Democrats' opposition a little less force. Who wants to be on record as supporting a fillabuster when the economy is going down the tubes? Even the dems screeching about "targeted tax relief" -- don't get me started on this!:o) -- will have a hard time killing a tax bill if the economy looks bad. OK. Rant over. Not targeted at you, of course. Just had to get that off my chest. RK
