If I hear the Dems parrot "Tax cuts for the rich" one more time I think I'll smash my TV.

No surprise the MSM isn't reporting that Bush's tax cuts have resulted in INCREASED revenue to the Treasury..and NOT the fiscal disaster the Dems predicted.

[Cobra64]

"NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- An unexpected spike in revenue from corporate taxes, individual stock market profits and executive bonuses is curbing the projected budget deficit this year, according to a media report."

Capital gains take time to accumulate before they could be realized [and taxed]. This lends the tax receipts from them more or less predictable. If a lot of prior capgains were realized in 2005, then there isn't that much of them left, for example.

I think you took my point a tad too seriously...

[Proud_USA_Republican]

LOL!!!!

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Dems in Nov election = screwed.

"Guess we'll have to blame it on Bush's tax cuts "for the wealthy."

Well... That's great cause I ain't never had no poor people hire me fer nuthin!!!

[adorno]

Geez, even JFK knew that.

I think that even most democrats know that. But, they can't bring themselves to admit it. Otherwise, half of their agenda, i.e. higher taxes, disappears. And, then, there would be no reason for the democratic party to exist anymore.

It was only unexpected to those people too stupid to understand 8th grade economics.

"sustainable"

I'm sorry... I just hate that liberal buzz word so badly that it just makes me see RED!!!

It is a lame loaded word designed to slam freedom!!! Freedom of enterprise. Freedom of markets. Freedom of travel.Freedom to own and CONTROL my own "private" property without excessive and extreme interference by GovernMental and self-annointed EnvironMentalists who are now empowered by our legal system to annoint themselves a "Deputy DA" and then make the taxpayers pay them legal fees and all the court costs for them to force the government to beat up on it's citizen/taxpayer/property owners till they are vanquished!!! I HATE that stupid word!!!

Sorry...

[SierraWasp]

"The tax receipt windfall has been building for months, but its size and effect on the deficit surprised budget analysts, given the high costs for the war in Iraq and hurricane relief."

Just soak-in the magnitude and the amplitude, as well as the attitude of that statement... Is this a great country with the right people in charge, or WHAT???

(Just wish he'd do right on everything, but... oh well at least he ain't as bad as that Shifty Schwartzie!!!)

[SierraWasp]

"Corporate taxes that have nearly tripled since 2003, executive bonuses, and higher individual taxes on stock market profits are fueling the spike in tax revenue, the paper reported."

You're RIGHT!!! SHOUT THIS FROM THE ROOF TOPS!!! NEVER QUIT CAMPAIGNING ON IT JUST LIKE BILL CLITON!!!

[dalereed]

All I think of when I hear or see "sustainable" is downtown chicken coops built for idiots in their trapped government housing walking and riding bicycles.

[Clintonfatigued]

Just as important as having the right people in charge in the Executive Branch of government is having the right people running The Legislative Branch of government, and there is an election this year.

See # 23, and please do not get yourself worked into seeing red, or even apoplexy, for it might be dangerous to your health. The best cure is to look at these things as if reading a doctoral dissertation about the customs receipts in Venice in the beginning of 16th century.

[SierraWasp]

How 'bout miserable Mass Transit? Does that come to mind? How about all those Chinese "coolies" in their monotanous Mao pajamas on bicycles in the 1970's, afraid to let their government see ANY individuality???

Well you sure grasped the picture I despise quite quickly!!! I don't hate anybody, but I sure hate Commonism!!! Sustainability supports Commonism!!! I don't!!!

[SierraWasp]

Oooooo! Ooooooo!! Ooooooo!!! I really LIKE you tagline!!!

Yes, you comment was right on target, too...

[goodnesswins]

Because they are LIBERALS = Economic IDIOTS

[SierraWasp]

Hey! It's a danged "trigger word" with me that triggers "liberal language siezure" rage in me!!! I told you I was sorry, so don't take it personally, or to you heart as if the rage was directed at you. Be a little more clinical, will ya? (grin)

No one but an idiot (think professor) would read that tripe!
