<<Okay, Bush fans, here's what Brooks says:>> Screw Brooks, I want some of my money back. Between real estate taxes and federal taxes I'm paying $35k on $25k income. I'm being raped and you want to raise my taxes.

Well, since the tax cut is definitely way too small. There's only a few things we can do to get things moving in the right direction again. Here's a few suggestions... 1. In the very near future, a $300 check will make its way to every adult taxpayer; $600 to married couples. Recycle $100 or more into the effort to reclaim the Senate. You can contribute by clicking here to connect to the National Republican Senatorial Committee nrsc.org. 2. Congressman Greg Ganske, is running for the United States Senate against ultra-liberal incumbent Democrat Tom Harkin. Doctor Ganske is a reconstructive surgeon who continues to practice on overseas missions where he trains young, third world doctors and operates on children needing reconstructive surgery. To beat Tom Harkin, he'll need to raise at least six million dollars (the amount Harkin spent six years ago.) Ganske for Senate 521 East Locust St. Des Moines, Iowa 50309 3. The third check should go to Congressman John Cooksey, who is running against liberal Louisiana Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu. "Cooksey for Senate" P.O. Box 15020, Monroe, LA 71207. 4. The fourth check should go to St. Paul Minnesota Mayor Norm Coleman, who is running against ultra-liberal Minnesota Democratic Senator Paul Wellstone. Wellstone lied to the people of Minnesota when he originally said he would only serve a maximum of 12 years. Power has made him thirsty for more socialistic programs. "Coleman for Senate" P.O. Box 65456, St. Paul, MN 55165. These are the most vulnerable Democrats coming up for re-election in the Senate. There is only one way to get rid of these tax-to-the-max spendaholics. And that's with good candidates who have a pile of cash at their disposal.

Don't Forget the $3 Trillion! Neal Boortz June 1, 2001 Just a friendly reminder. The Congressional Budget Office reports that by the year 2011 – which is the year many of the tax breaks in the new so-called tax cut bill cease to exist – the Congress of the United States will have amassed THREE TRILLION DOLLARS in "uncommitted funds." That amounts to $30,000 for each American household. About $6,700 for every American wage earner. Your money, not theirs – but they are going to be controlling where it goes and how it gets spent. You can bet your last ruble that it will be used to enhance the power of government. And Some More Phrases to Remember I got a lot of response from that Slate.com article I read on the air yesterday. The article, written by a self-confessed big government liberal, detailed just why liberals should not be upset by Bush's tax cut and his 4 percent restriction on the growth of government spending. Here are some loose quotes from the article: "Democrats seem to have lost faith in their governing appeal. Whatever happened to Tax and tax, spend and spend, elect and elect? While no politician likes to cast a vote to raise taxes, it can be done. Taxes were raised in 1983 under Reagan, in 1990 under Bush I, and in 1993 under Clinton." "…the delay [in implementing the bulk of the Bush tax cuts] gives the Democrats time to prevent the cuts from ever happening." "Even those Bush tax cuts that do go into effect will increase the ability and willingness of taxpayers to be taxed later. In essence, Bush's budget takes the money Democrats will need and stores it with the taxpayers – for collection at a later date, when Bush is out of office. Yes, yes, it stores the money mainly with rich taxpayers. But that's OK. We know where they live." "Every dollar he [Bush] saves today is a dollar we can spend tomorrow."
