How is anything mentioned in that article going to change after you vote one way or another? The rate may go up or down but neither party is advocating any change in the tax system. Sure, you get a few people talking about things like the Fair Tax or 9-9-9 but those are, for the most part, pipe dreams. Both parties use the tax system to curry favor and maintain power, so all we get to talk about is how we get screwed not if.
In case you didn’t notice -— and obviously you didn’t understand if you did -— they’re called the “Bush tax cuts.”
The Republicans cut the rates under Reagan and got rid of a lot of the complications and tax shelters. The Bush tax cuts included a moratorium on the death tax, and a cut across the board.
Despite the media big lies, the Republicans never had the control that the Dems have had for the last 3-5 years. Remember “jumpin’ Jeffords?” Remember Arlen Specter, Olivia Dukakis, and a whole host of NE RINOs in the Senate?
We need to cut spending. But in the meantime, the “Bush tax cuts” must stand and should be increased, not weakened.
