Tax Gifts and Big Brother is Listening
Honestly, giving rich persons more money than the average worker helps "America grow"?
First, I don't believe it. But, even if this notion is true, it is flat out unfair to working stiffs who get a few dollars, while millionaires get government donations of $40,000 plus.
Bush, addressing a white tie banquet some time over the past several years, said (approximately), "Some would call you the haves and the haves more; I call you my base."
I think that pretty well sums up where he and his party have their hearts. Suck money out of the federal revenue stream to the Treasury, give it to the rich, and then create a trillion dollar war and give your congressional buddies highways and bridges 'to nowhere' at a cost of millions more.
Where is the justice? Where is the 'conservative' goal to trim the budget?
Where on Earth is this nation going, with a leader who spends ad infinitum, authorizes torture, ignores poor black folks crushed by a hurricane, and tracks the phone calls of every person in this country?
Are we in America? Or perhaps in 17th century France. Let's have wars, lets give to the rich, and let 'them' eat cake.
