You're not paying less taxes, you're paying more for local taxes, energy, health care, tuitions and more under Bush-Cheney, then later you'll either have to pay off the huge Bush deficits, or you'll see cuts in services. Unless you're rich and don't need any services, you'll get less help from the government and there will be pressure to cut down SS and Medicare. What you get with Bush-Cheney is $100 bill back, then $200 picked out of your pocket. The money flows to the very rich and corporate special interests who skim and gouge on energy, health care, and maybe SS if the Bushies get their way. Don't you see, it's just a campaign trick and a shell game, and you're the sucker?

Under Bush-Cheney, the average family pays about $500 more per year on energy costs alone, plus $500 more for health care, $500 more for college tuitions and more for state and local taxex depending on where they live. The average family gets back about $1000 from Bush-Cheney but also will be charged with the deficits later. The Iraq War will cost the average family about $1000 each. You do the math. This does not include all the cuts in services that have either already happened or are about to after the election. All so the very rich can get off scott free and Bushie corporate interests can gouge us.
