You don't need to parrot the left's talking points on this board. Aside from your totalitarian cronies like Third Anus, no one gives them any credibility. Try doing some thinking on your own...

You think it is fair that the group of Americans that pays the most in taxes, should not get a tax break like everyone else?
You have a warped sense of fairness

I'm still waiting for a reply A.

;-) M

Would you please post any link, news article, periodical or otherwise that proves your assertions? Or are you just living in the past and spreading out-used, out-dated rumor? I haven't seen any evidence to validate your claims. What programs has President Bush dismantled? What de-regulation bills has he presented to, and had passed through congress? Especially one with democratic control?

......Did the exact thing same Reagan's bunch did when they came into power, dismantling all alternative energy and conservation programs and de-regulating polluters, but even more so this time as the Oil Patch and Coal Industry has their office right in the Oval Office...............

Medicare broke the health care system. There are no surpluses, we are over-taxed. 42,000,000 poorest!LOL, you have no concept of fair, let alone poor or rich. Liberal, moderate, conservative, it makes no difference what the modifier is, you are socialist at heart.

The richest 400 Americans will receive as much back as the 42,000,000 poorest. Sound fair to you?
Yeah, actually, it does. If you use a progressive tax system, the more you make, the more you pay. And progressively the more you make, the more you pay. If you cut taxes, those paying most will get more back. And progressively (not linearly), the more you pay the more you get back. Simple if you understand simple mathematical concepts.
Unless, of course, your agenda is to SCREW THE RICH! If you insist on being a thief, you can make it come out differently. Otherwise you get the result you indicated.

Wanna see where socialized medicine ends up? Look at Canada. Wonderful laws, they just can't afford to pay the costs.

Quit calling me a liberal, I'm a moderate, by the way.
LOL!! That's the joke of the year! If you're a moderate, then moderate = very left-wing liberal.

What if the 400 richest Americans decided to leave the country?

Would you propose forcing them to stay here at gunpoint?
