Now, in this time, everyone in America had to sacrifice except the wealthiest Americans. And most of us, almost all of us, from Republicans to independents and Democrats, we wanted to be asked to do our part, too. But all they asked us to do was to expend the energy necessary to open the envelopes containing our tax cuts. Now, if you like these choices and you agree with them, you should vote to return them to the White House and the Congress. If not, take a look at John Kerry, John Edwards and the Democrats. We've got a different economic policy.

Will the tax cuts only go to the Muslims ? and will non Muslims have to convert to Islam to get the tax breaks ?
We contacted both of our senators and let them know we want them to vote NO on this tax bill. We prefer that they wait until January and do this without all of the spending the Dems are trying to jam down our throats again!!!
Fast forward to the present, with these same tax cuts, the Democrats are arguing that if allowed to expire, the “lower and middle classes” will be hit the hardest.
How can the lower and middle classes be hit the hardest by something that didn't exist? Were Democrats lying for the past 10 years or are they lying now?
Odd how the media has completely ignored this “little inconsistency”.
Typical liberals, they always put party ahead of country; whatever is convenient at the time they are for or against. There power is most important and most illegitimate. There tactics bleeds into conservative ideology.
THEREFORE WE MUST ELIMINATE THE RINO’s.
FlashBack 2006: Are the Bush Tax Cuts Working?[ 1.4 million Jobs the Nine Months After August 2003]

The real annual GDP growth rate increased from 0.3 percent in 2001 to 2.5 percent in 2002. In the third quarter of 2003, GDP grew at a 7.2 percent annual rate. Forecasters are expecting GDP to grow by 4.6 percent in 2004, the highest in 20 years.
2003 and 2004 economic growth levels surpassed Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates by 150 basis combined, resulting in $300 billion of additional growth, which is roughly $2,500 per household.
To be fair, 1.4M new jobs in 9 months was rather weak compared to what happened under Clinton in the 90s, or under Reagan in the 80s.
Also, GDP in 2004 ended up growing at 3.6% which was the highest of the Bush years. It dropped to 3.1 in 2005, and then 2.5 in 2007.
GDP under Clinton grew at 4% or higher for 4 straight years from 97-00.
The tax cuts worked, but not nearly as much as they said they would.
