My point exactly. So why are millionaires screaming for more tax cuts when we are at war, when our troops are not protected? Why do they think they should get to keep more of their money when many pay little or no tax to begin with? Why are we giving no-bid contracts to corporations who have moved off shore (in reality they only have a Post Office box off shore and continue to conduct their business here) in order to avoid paying their share? Why are we allowing Haliburton to overcharge our government in one scandal after another when our troops are not being provided for? What kind of patriots are these people? Why do they think it's up to the middle class to pay while they skip away tax free?

The national debt is growing at an alarming rate. The World Bank is now warning that the U.S. may need to bring down our debt before they will consider us credit worthy.

This is a real problem and now on top of it, the President is proposing adding 2 Trillion dollars onto that debt.

It's great to want to overhaul social security, it's great to want to spread freedom throughout the world. There's a time and a place for everything and until this war is over and paid for, we cannot afford this overhaul, we cannot afford tax cuts.

I am very upset with these tax and spend neo-cons who are bankrupting this country.
