And, given Bush's taste for big government social welfare solutions, hidden under the "conservative" fig leafs of religious welfare work and federal/state tax money redistribution for various "compassionate conservativism" projects, which have only served to further inflate the budget...
And, given Bush's pandering to the Hispanic vote, including his refusal to protect our borders or to enforce our immigration laws, leading to ballooning welfare roles and social service bills for illegal aliens, and his blatant capitulation to the racial-extortion coalition, and his penchant for white guilt and apparent acceptance of politically correct thinking, Frankfurt School style "anti-authoritarianism" and other forms of cultural Bolshevism, which take as part of their central theme the increasing tax-slavery of the white working and white middle classes as a means of "creating social change"....
And, given Bush's refusal to cut any part of Big Government at all, which he claims to want to merely reform in a "compassionate conservative" direction, rather than to reduce....
And, given Bush's belief that all that is necessary to keep the conservatives in line and to keep the GOP faithful coming to the polls, is to occasionally throw them a bone, such as the occasional token tax cut or the occasional token support of anti-affirmative action legal measures, or the occasional anti-abortion rhetoric, etc....
What, therefore, are the chances that anyone connected with the Bush administration believes this is a serious proposal, versus the chances that it is yet another meaningless, rhetorical piece of red meat thrown into the conservative dog pound, to keep the GOP mutts from yapping all night, and otherwise interrupting Bush's slumber?
And, a tangental question: what are the chances that Freepers will waste their time bashing each other over purely theoretical arguments over tax policy, rather than a thorough and objective appraisal of the current White House and its overal policies and goals?
