The tax reductions are working and as Bush has already stated the deficit does need to be paid down with congress reducing spending. * * *

The total tax burden on the population today is enormous. I dont remember the exact figure but its something like 45% of gross income. I dont think thats too low, I think its DAMN HIGH. A lot of it has to do with people wanting the govt to do something FOR THEM. Here is one hell of a good example and I will name the place (much as I hate too as I love that place and may move there some day). My wife and I visited Delta, Colorado last summer looking to buy some property to ultimately move. I inspected that town inside and out, including interviewing the city manager, the CofC, and other officials. I visited the schools the parks YOU NAME IT I was there. I was TOTALLY IMPRESSED. They have a school and park system superior to where I live and I live in a very UPSCALE COMMUNITY. I says to the City manager, there is NO WAY you could afford all of this in this little town, who's paying for it. He said we have a very active community, the PEOPLE come together DONATE their time and THEY BUILT IT ALL with their own hands. Now THATS the way America used to be. jdn
