The pre-speech festivities

The Democrat Response Thread

[DCBryan1]

If this tax cut is good for Americans, 3, 5, or 7 years from now, it is good for Americans today!

[NormsRevenge]

Don't you love it how the Dems just sit there when the President talks about giving the taxpayer back some of their money?

[Indy Pendance]

Dashell's proposed 300 per person? He's a jerk

[meyer]

JOBS ARE CREATED WHEN THE
ECONOMY GROWS.
THE ECONOMY GROWS WHEN
AMERICANS HAVE MORE MONEY TO
SPEND AND INVEST.
AND THE BEST AND FAIREST WAY TO
MAKE SURE AMERICANS HAVE THAT
MONEY IS NOT TO TAX IT AWAY IN
THE FIRST PLACE.
I AM PROPOSING THAT ALL THE
INCOME TAX REDUCTIONS SET FOR
2004 AND 2006 BE MADE PERMANENT
AND EFFECTIVE THIS YEAR.
UNDER MY PLAN, AS SOON AS I
HAVE SIGNED THE BILL, THIS
EXTRA MONEY WILL START SHOWING
UP IN WORKERS' PAYCHECKS,
INSTEAD OF GRADUALLY REDUCING
THE MARRIAGE PENALTY, WE SHOULD
DO IT NOW.
INSTEAD OF SLOWLY RAISING THE
CHILD CREDIT TO $1,000, WE
SHOULD SEND THE CHECKS TO
AMERICAN FAMILIES NOW.
THIS TAX RELIEF IS FOR EVERYONE
WHO PAYS INCOME TAXES, AND IT
WILL HELP OUR ECONOMY
IMMEDIATELY.
92 MILLION AMERICANS WILL KEEP,
THIS YEAR, AN AVERAGE OF ALMOST
$1,100 MORE OF THEIR OWN MONEY.
A FAMILY OF FOUR WITH AN INCOME
OF $40,000 WOULD SEE THEIR
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES FALL FROM
$1,178 TO $45 PER YEAR.
OUR PLAN WILL IMPROVE THE
BOTTOM LINE FOR MORE THAN 23
MILLION SMALL BUSINESSES.
YOU, THE CONGRESS, HAVE ALREADY
PASSED ALL THESE REDUCTIONS.
AND PROMISED THEM FOR FUTURE
YEARS.
IF THIS TAX RELIEF IS GOOD FOR
AMERICANS THREE, OR FIVE, OR
SEVEN YEARS FROM NOW, IT IS
EVEN BETTER FOR AMERICANS
TODAY.

I'd like to wipe that smile off of Polosi's face, if she'd quit nodding "no", I could get to her!

[looney tune]

Fox News Channel. They showed him for a full minute - clenched jaw and all!

[sweetliberty]

This is great. The Rats will be insane over the tax cuts! I love it!

[Pharmboy]

He is on his game tonight! Go George Go!

[Psycho_Runner]

Watch out stock market. One good thing about the Bucs winning the superbowl, whenever a NFC team wins, the stock market goes up.

[azGOPgal]

Mr. President is on a roll! He knows what he has to do, and he knows how to say it!

[MeekOneGOP]

Did ya'll see that? Pelosi? Laughing at his remarks about tax reductions. Sheesh !

[Democratshavenobrains]

During Clinton's SOTU, they were rowdyer than the seals at Sea World.
