Also, a minor point that our geniuses don't bring up is that it is a recession caused primarily by corrected house prices which led to mortgage meltdown which lead to financial crisis. Which and who's policies lead to that? Yet our side let's them call it the Bush policy recession. Haven't heard the housing thing brought up once in rebuttal. Only, yeah we spent too much and we won't do that next time. Really makes ms wonder.

Dems are so brazen in their lying that they are claiming that the tax increase next January is Bush’s “policy.”

All our side has to say is that the only way to get “bi-partisan” support back in 2003 was to include the sunset provision. It was not the Rs but the Ds who demanded the end date for the tax rate reduction for ALL American taxpayers.

Also, I forgot to add, spokesmen for our side should never say “tax reduction”, but “tax rate reduction.” People should get used to thinking about the rate we pay, not the net amount we pay. Too many people believe that “the rich” get huge checks from the IRS; not that they pay through the nose TO the IRS, and if the rate is reduced, they will be able to keep a bit more of their gross income.

Dems, and too many GOPers, say Congress will “give a reduction to the people.” I HATE hearing that government is giving anybody anything. It is OUR money that we give to the government to do what we voters decide should be done; not the government who ‘gives’ us an allowance.
