I support cutting spending. What happened to that thought? We are seeing a reincarnation of the Democrats in the Republican party. Unlimited spending, big government, big wars, and endless programs.

$726 billion over ten years

How can anyone characterize this drop in the Federal bucket as "excessive"?

If Bush' economic team were smart, they'd realize how dumb it is to phase in the child tax credit and marriage penalty when the bulk of his support is from families with children and not singles or the elderly and after he made such a big deal about it.

This tax cut should be the absolute centerpiece of the conservative agenda. 50% of the American population pays 92% of the taxes, and I feel that some of us are at the taxpayer boiling point. Now, if you and I rebel against the progressive tax implementation, we're going to find that only half the population is sympathetic with our cause.

Thus, the liberals have successfully paid off their voters. Half the population, and they pay 8% of the taxes. Thanks to Frist reducing the cut by almost $376 billion and dodging town immediately, we can accuse the Republicans for being complicit in the overtaxation of the American people too.
