First, never trust what you see on the Internet unless you trust the
source.
Republicans spend half their life making shit up about how Hillary
dissed the
Gold Star Mothers and Jane Fonda had six soldiers killed in North Vietnam.
Never trust a Republican - even when he seems to have proof - they
lie.
OK, now - who is taxfoundation.org?
I'll guess it's an organization backed by billionaire Republicans because
the
super-rich are pretty damn tired of paying their fair share of taxes
on their billions.
Second, I refuse to believe for a second that Bush ever did anything
to help "the little people," and that includes taxes.
But - for the sake of argument - let's assume every word is true:
Bush borrowed that tax-cut money and that money has to be paid back
to the Commie Chinese and the backers of the 9-11 Saudi hijackers.
Bush is taking money out of OUR pockets to finance a loan for his communist
and terrorist friends. They make a profit when they loan us money.
Bush is trading with the enemy for profit - just like Prescott Bush
did.
Also, let's say there was a law that you had to see a theater movie
every week
and, by law, you had to buy a large tub of popcorn and
a large Coca Cola.
IF
Bush charges $20 for $5 popcorn and $20 for $5 Cokes,
can be brag about cutting the price of movie admission by 50 cents?
You bet he will - and the whore press will say we got a great
deal!
In other words, IF
your federal taxes go down by $3K, but your state
and local taxes rise $4K plus you spend an exctra $2K a year on gas
and you couldn't finance that new home because you had to compete
with the government to borrow the money - are you any better off?
