I believe GB lowered taxes and no it wasn't just for the rich. We got our taxes lowered considerably and we make around 45,000 a year. Thats a long ways from rich. Also we got a check for 600.00 as did everyone I know, that is people who actually paid taxes.

Tax cuts are good when they accompany spending cuts, but spending has soared under Bush...up 12.5% annually (non-defense).

The debt now stands at $7.5 TRILLION and is growing at $500B a year.

By not cutting spending, Bush has just given us (and our kids) a deferred tax increase.

Did he lower government spending by a proportional amount to pay for the tax cut or did he put it on the federal credit card and increase government spending at the same time ?
