Oh, did I forget to give an example? Bush's tax policies: "the cornerstone of Bush’s package is the elimination of taxes on American corporate dividends – a measure that “could cost the government $300 billion over 10 years" and will "create much bigger budget deficits for the future," according to the New York Times. “More than half the benefit of eliminating dividend taxes,” the Times reported, “would flow to the wealthiest 5 percent of taxpayers." That may understate the proposal’s regressive impact, since just 1 percent of investors receives more than 40 percent of stock-market income and the top 10 percent receives nearly 90 percent. " Quote is from: globalpolicy.org <<LOL you imagine all kinds of things that are not.>> That's a false accusation.
