This latest headline grabbing story about the tax cuts excluding lower-income taxpayers was discussed by Rush Friday.

As he put it, Voionivich and Co. were the ones insistent that the total "cost" not exceed $350b. 'W' would have been happy to include those lower-income taxpayers, but they chose to draw the line somwhere.

Anyone know more about this?

This would be my argument with the Dems about those lower incomes not qualifying for the tax cut... They can always introduce it and vote for it...

These are the same group who the libs always want to give a tax cut to - the people WHO DON'T PAY TAXES. Why ...? Because those people are usually ignorant and always vote for the dems. However, because of the Rinos, the provision to give the non-taxpaying people a tax "freebait" was cut out of the bill.

The dems buddies are the cause of this, but now the dems are saying Bush cut out the poorest who really needed that money.
