Excellent.
Keep 'em comin!!
The rinos in the senate will gut it.
I was about to post something along those lines. The chances of the gutless Senate are slim to none. Time for "BIG TIME" arm twisting.
Finally! Congress does something we sent them there to do. Good job boys.
Alright! Less taxes on my capital gains! SWOOSH!
Anyone hear if the tax reduction on the foreign profits of US Corps will be extended another year? I haven't kept up these past few days.
Cool.
I'd like to see massive cuts in SPENDING as well
If the objective is to "starve the beast" to achieve cuts the House should have the courage to cut the programs at the same time as taxes are cut. As it is this is irresponsible.
Ross Perot is looking like a genius at this point. His crazy aunt in the attic is screaming bloody murder.
They passed a $60 million "tax cut" in the senate already. It's going to a joint House-Senate committee.
There is nothing "excellent" about this.
With the White House, the House and the Senate in Republican hands, with the voters giving Bush an overwhelmig victory, and with Bush's approaval rating near 90% at one time, the time was ripe to push through the national sales tax (thus, TOTAL elimination of taxes on cap gains and dividends, among other benefits).
Just another sign of a flaccid and impotent Administration that can't find a way to get anything done of lasting and major importance.
What makes you think the majority of Republicans or conservatives for that matter even support your new sales tax? Adding another bureaucratic layer of taxes is not always a good idea even if it is supported by you.
This tax cut is nothing - it'll get swallowed up by runaway spending on entitlement programs and other unconstitutional parts of government. Plus it's riddling the tax code even more.
Oooooooooh WOW, a $60 million tax cut. That comes out to about 70 cents per taxpayer?
When Bush had a 90% approval rating, the Senate was in Democratic hands.
The HOUSE and Senate were almost always in Democratic hands when Reagan was President, yet Reagan handled budgets far, FAR better than lil Bush.
You mean when Reagan signed in tax increases? And the Senate was in Republican hands for 6 out of 8 years of Reagan's presidency.
