So you admit that Bush gave you a couple of tax cuts that directly impacted your paycheck, and yet you still claimed that the government was directly taking more out of each paycheck from you?!And you admit that you have no data to support your wild-eyed claim that the middle class is "shrinking", yet you stand behind your assertation anyway?!
That's rich...
Uh, Southack, that's rich in turn - you are using the experiences of ONE person to make your point about an entire group. But I've come to expect as much from those who issue knee-jerk apologies for the GOP. And, for all the tax money the middle class may be getting from Bush, they are in turn just going to turn around and pay that to their state and local governments. The problem is not just with the feds, it's at all levels, and government is loathe to downsize, so middle-class taxpayers will be faced with increasing tax bills from all levels as they in turn face a shrinking job base and lower pay. You can snivel and nitpick that all you want, but that's the ground truth from someone who was out of work for eight months last year and saw firsthand the pain that millions are now going through. And, just because MY personal ship is now righted, I'm not going to pretend that millions of others in my previous predicament should now sink or swim - as the sharks are now being let loose in their midst.
