First, the tax cuts shift billions in federal dollars from working people, whose wages are not rising above inflation, to the super-wealthy.

You mean the ones who pay the taxes?

Thanks to Bush, the federal income tax burden as a percentage of gross domestic product is at its lowest level since the 1940.

Apparently, he views this as a bad thing.

Mortgage rates got down to around 4% under Bush. Incredibly low. Did he get any credit for such a singular event? No.

Now the rates are going up a bit. Heavens! The Sky is Falling! We're Doomed! And its all Bush's fault!

Total number of Americans working over 16.

Jan 2000 - 136,609,000
Jun 2003 - 137,738,000

Equals - 1,129,000 more Americans employed. I know the growth isn't fast enough, but there are over a million more Americans working now than when George Bush took office.

Yesterday I was talking to a liberal about the Bush economy...We got on the subject of unemplyment and I asked her how one man can be so responsible for such a political wedge issue when there are so many forces working against him...

She, in such a deadpanned, serious face just chuckled out of ridiculous misbelief that I could possibly suggest that the economy and unemployment was not his fault, and that I was crazy for even suggesting the notion that there are those forces that would rather see him fail...

She's accused me of NEWSPEAK before concerning a 9/11 conversation we had and has also questioned my ability to raise children (she has none by the way).

She was also completely disgusted with the "total media fawning" over George Bush during the Presidential election...(I was amazed and dumbfounded).

We have had discussions for a few months now and I have come to a couple conclusions...either she is really that brainwashed or she is purposefully distorting the truth...

it's incredibly frustrating...

The states are facing budget deficits of $80 billion in the fiscal year just begun...

$38 billion of which is California alone (almost half).

The best reason for a pub to cut taxes is that the next rat in office will raise them whether the pub cut them or not.
