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.

I beg to differ. I'll bet he is doing something intellectually
challenging like watching American idol...
