The bill that BUSH ran up?

What would you call it?
Reduce taxes (for the rich).


The biggest reductions were in the area of the low income earners
who no longer paid taxes of ANY kind because the lower brakcets were
also cut. Taxes paid by the higher groups went up in all categories
(percentage of total taxes paid, percentage of taxes paid versus
percentage of taxpayers, even % of AGI, according to IRS figures.

Deregulation has pushed people to push the envelop of greed and
legalistics. Just in case you forgot, we are now spending 100's of
trillions of dollars to bail out "systems" that "cannot be allowed to
fail". That is not because the capitalist system works so well when not
regulated. Please note sarcasm. I am not in favor of communism or
strict socialism, but of capitalism with responsibility and regulation.
Stealing is still stealing, and inducing people to get mortgages that
rely on their home's values to increase at 20% a year is not responsible.

Of course neither is buying into it. The greed on the part of the
borrowers, a major contributing factor, is always glossed over. Takes
two to tango.


that libs eyes just glazed over when he was presented with facts. he's
playing with his play station now.
