Rush's Radio Show | 01/07/03 | President Bush

[gov_bean_ counter]

O.K. I heard what Rush could play. Someone watching has a job to do.

[krodriguesdc]

look don't get me wrong - I like G2 - but not everyone agrees with this economic package as evidenced by recent polls that say Americans would rather not have a tax cut...

this economic package does not have mass appeal....

we here at FR do like tax cuts, but not everyone agrees with the notion that more and more tax cuts benefit the economy more...

[smiley]

Put this in perspective...we would rather see the peoples' money in the hands of the people....not the democraps!

[NormsRevenge]

Tiny Tommy is shooting his mouth off .... Who benefits from corporate America more then his wife and him?

[hattend]

Unless you are a corporation or wealthy they will not help much..do not get excited..the side to banana republic is right on track

Those evil corporations and rich guys might be able to give you a job or, if you already have a job, keep you on staff.

Stop listening to PBS/NPR

[Phantom Lord]

now all the rich people are creating jobs in China and Mexico..but don't worry you can always move

I'll have to ask my boss, the owner of the company I work for, who is very wealthy when he will be moving my job to Mexico or China. I suspect his answer will be NEVER.

And we are a very small company. 9 employees, including my boss who is also the owner.

He is a very wealthy man by most peoples standard. House over a million dollars, 80K car, a 500,000 second home at the beach, etc...

He, a rich man and owner of an LLC hired me. Not the welfare broadmare down the street.

So do you disagree that Bush's plan will stimulate the economy, or are you just concerned that it won't be "well received"?

If you think that it will work, whether it is well received now or not doesn't matter. Once the economy picks up, the majority will be on-board.

If you don't agree with his plan, what do you suggest instead?

[Cicero]

Unless something is done about the Alternative Minimum Tax, relief for married people and people with children will simply be slurped right back up again.

[Wphile]

Baloney! Have you seen the poll numbers? Well over 60% (some numbers reach 80%) approve of the elimination of the marriage penalty, increasing the child care credit, accelerating the current tax cuts, etc.

This does have mass appeal. I heard the speech on the radio. W was great and made perfect sense. It will be well received by the American people.

[hattend]

Rush may be going to play the Ferraro/Cavuto exchange. Hope so...

[krodriguesdc]

Let's give our fellow Americans credit for having SOME intelligence

huh? - wait till the dems start spinning all of this!

but I do agree Americans are smart when it comes to money...

[NormsRevenge]

Patty Murray and Chucky Schumer LOL are being named as part of a Dem Legislative Economic Council or such for the demRats by Tiny Tommy .. LOLOL

I'd say he just shot himself in the arse

[RnMomof7]

Those jobs in which our workers are wasting their time and talent doing. If someone's work is worth 50k, it shouldn't be spent on an assembly line, they should be putting their 50k talent to work where it would be more efficient.

That is not true..Hi teck and engineering jobs are moving to India and China..some pink collar bank and marketing jobs are gone to India...and all those industrial jobs ..the ones that paid enough to raise a family on, and contribute to the tax base.....well you do not give a damn about them do you? Most of those men are sweeping floors and washing toilets and using public funds to fill in the holes and to top it off ..and they get to compete with the Mexicans that will do it for a dollar a day

Let them eat cake

[krodriguesdc]

please don't get me wrong - but IMHO I think his numbers are going to go south soon...

wait till the dems start to spin all of this...

if G2 had played this economic package to the public instead of his patriotic tune after 9-11 we wouldn't have control of The WH, Senate and Congress...

source CNN online.

[RnMomof7]

Well I hope for your sake he does not grow too much..I saw an article a while ago about a small business man ,he has 20 employees and that feds came to him to encourage him to move off shore to increase his profit..Your government at work

[rep-always]

What did Geraldine have to say? Heard Rush say he would mention it during his third hour but had to get back to work.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

I can think of quite a few guys who would dearly love to have their old factory jobs back at $15 to $18 an hour.

Guys with houses and kids who are doing handyman or maintenence work or
bagging groceries for near minimum wage.

Guys who were once middle class.

Honest hard working men who will not see things improve for them in any forseeable future.

[Phantom Lord]

My job can't be done from China. So I have no fears, no matter how large the company gets.

[Wphile]

So, what would you propose? Are you against tax cuts? Criminy, I thought his speech was a beauty and I love the proposals.

[First Amendment]

recent polls that say Americans would rather not have a tax cut...

Somehow that is hard to believe... Althought, I'm sure those Americans who recieve money from the gov't -employees and welfare recipients feel that way.
