>>administration that currently is recklessly managing our deficit...

Scott, I agree to some degree. I am in favor of the income tax cuts, but I think that there should have been corresponding spending cuts or an offsetting increase in corporate taxes.

Buffett, Soros, and Pete Petersen are not conservative. Wealthy, yes. Conservative in the sense of "interested in preserving the status quo", maybe. But not conservative in the sense of the modern American usage.

and if tax cuts are so great for the economy, why not cut taxes to zero... better yet, why not have the fed pay us?

SS, the deficits are due to a decline in tax revenue - look at the 50 states and their budget problems. People's incomes have declined retirees have seen their interest income extinguished while property taxes escalate. Their retirement portfolios have been hit. The taxpayer must learn to live with less so should the government. mike
