The hypocracy of Democrats is stunning.
Another intersting thing is that in 2000 there were about 20% of filers who paid zero federal income tax, now because of Bush 33% of filers pay zero income tax. So the tax burden has been eliminated for many more of our poorest citizens.
Isn't this what Bush said would happen?
Great Article!

Almost makes one think the cost of government at all levels is going down.
I'll send it to liberal friends, with this paragraph first:
One final point: The CBO study confirms that the rich carry the bulk of the tax burden on their shoulders. The CBO estimate says that the share of income taxes paid by the richest 20 percent of earners fell from 82.5 percent to 82.1 percent in 2004. The report also states that the top 10 percent of earners will pay only 66.7 percent of 2004 taxes, with the top 1 percent paying 32.3 percent. Fully 80 percent of Americans pay less than 18 percent of total income taxes. Not even Al Sharpton could look at this data and say the rich are getting a free ride.
i surely pay a bunch
