Typical lib poll... split the "right" vote with two answers so the the one "left" answer wins.

Right, it should say "Yes, but it's not enough."

I am not wealthy - no, not anywhere close to it and YES, I will be looking forward to receiving up to $800 in the mail for my 2 kids and the help I'll get in my paycheck starting in July when they take out 4% less until the end of this year! So these idiots who claim it's only for the wealthy are BS'ers and need to just shut up!

I hear ya!! I heard today that people who make under $30k think they will be getting some of that child tax credit but will not get the $$$. Only those who make over $30k. Anyone else hear this?

The article left out the 15-10% tax reduction bit. It does appear in other articles though. Part of that is in effect already. Check the difference in your 2001 & 2002 tax packages.

This poll actually shows the majority of people support a tax-cut of at least this size.

Case closed.

Remarkable, when you consider that 50% of the American Public contribute LESS THAN 4% of the income tax collected, that the majority still want to lower taxes!

Celebrate that the world is slightly more rational today.

What is sad is there are still 40% out there that feel we did not need a tax cut. Can you believe this? Instead of saying we don't need a tax cut how about saying yes we damn you!!!! And to top it off STOP SPENDING MY DAMNED MONEY!!!!!

Let's just think about the poll though. If I were a Dem, I'd say we didn't need a tax cut becuase it simply isn't going to take the money out of my pocket. Now do you think any of those folks are going to volunteer the money they will receive. The poll is absolutely "non productive" at this time except for the spinners library!!
