Why can't the Democrat's OK Bush's Tax Cut? Because they want our money so they can go on their spending sprees! Proof? 33 Democrats were among the top 40 Big Spenders in the U.S. Senate last year!

If your representative is on this list, Bush Country request you contact them and ask them why they can spend our money so easily, yet turn right around and say "no" to President Bush's Tax Cut Plan which will not only put more money in our pockets, but help pull America out of the Bill Clinton recession.

The data below is distilled from reports by the National Taxpayers Union. Any errors or omissions should be directed to the NTU.

And, they will be given the power to do it.
Prepare for higher taxes and spending to "stimulate the economy".

What? It worked for Clinton.....

[Roebucks]

Is that what they mean by a talking head? Is he related to the gal from the exorist?

I dunno... Hold on.... ya' might be on to somethin' there...<grin>

[Diddle E. Squat]

Dang, what is Frist and Santorum doing on that list? Other than Cochran(I don't know anything about him) the rest are rats and rinos. Very telling, which is why you won't see this reported in the mainstream media, other than maybe the bottom of page 37b of the Saturday edition.

[stylin19a]

Very misleading. Some of these people are gone. They left when Bush came in, so how can they equate them with holdin up President Bush's tax plan ?
bah humbug...!

[concerned about politics]

What? It worked for Clinton.....

No, it didn't. Clinton took the money OUT of the system that Reagan put in!
The Reagan money allowed the nation to build and grow. The economy doesn't change overnight. If Reagan could have gotten more back to the people, the economy would have been even better!
The reason we're in a recession now is because Clinton took the money OUT, and it stripped the people of their chance to grow. They had to stop producing due to the lack. The economy slowley started to die. By the time Bush was running for the presidency, the recession was already hitting the upper business sector, and the pink slips were being delivered.
It's here now, at the bottom.
Bushs' tax relief will take time to grow as well. The more he can get back in the system, the faster the economy can get back to where Reagan left it for us. That's why the Democraps are fighting it tooth and nail. They know how the economy works, and they don't want the economy to recover...not until another Democrap is in office. Maybe not even then, bacause the welfare rolls brought in Democrap votes! The more people dependent on a socialist goverment, the more dictating power they have.

I know. I'm sorry that I forgot my sacasm alert tag on my reply.
