Paper against Bush

[multipak]

I understand what you say, but I don't see how it damages my life. You mention how his tax cut does not benefit everyday people? How am I not everyday people?

I already answered that question. ?Our take-home pay by middle class has been the lowest in history (inflation and consumer index adjusted) even with the tax cut.? If that is not a telling stat, I don?t know what it is. You mentioned that your income is 30K. Your income as a teacher is less than what it should be to begin with. Why would an extra $400 tax cut make you happy when in fact, you deserve a lot more than $30K to begin with? Why would a $400 tax cut make you happy when a company executives? tax cut is $ 1 million? Why would you be happy with $400 tax cut when affluent investors gain millions of $ from tax cuts on capital gains and dividends? Yesterday, he signed another tax cut for corporations. It?s mind-boggling.

You want another telling stat? The take-home pay by rich people is the highest in history with the Bush?s tax cut. That means Bush? tax cut created a big gap between high class and poor. That is a sure sign of poor economy and is prevalent in 3rd world country. How will that hurt you personally? The buying power of your $30K will be reduced because the cost for health care, food, gas, etc will likely increase. The end result is that the Bush?s tax cut in fact could have an effect of a pay cut. And the fact is that it has. That?s how it damages your life.

One more point to consider: I got my $400 checks before 9/11. At that point the economy was fine.

Wrong. A lot companies were laying off people before 9/11. US airway and United were already having risks of bankruptcy. Computer and biotech industries were in huge slump. The leading computer company Dell announced a large decrease in profit earnings. They happened all before 9/11.

If you want to think I am narrow minded I really don't mind. Most Liberals think Conservatives are narrow-minded and that is the way it is.

Just because I believe Bush jr is trying to give a free ride to the rich, it doesn?t make me a liberal. I supported Bush? decision to invade Afghanistan. I am independently registered. I voted for Bush sr. I voted for Russ Perot (Remember his famous lecture on the perils of budget deficit?). I would strongly consider John McCain if he was a candidate. In fact, I never voted for Clinton (With hindsight, I would vote for Clinton now). I agree with Democrats on more of their economic policies. I am not enthusiastic about liberals? core issues such as unions, civil rights, immigration policies, etc. I am one of those ?anyone but Bush? voters. He has been a nightmare to our environmental policies. He is an extremist to the conservatives? causes and has proved that he is a champion of the riches and corporations.
