you are simply wrong.
amazing how effective propaganda directed at the poor is.
Fact: there was an equal % across the board cut.

Take bush's abolition of double taxation on share dividends. How does this help poor people who dont own shares compared with how it helps rich people who do own shares? Even one of the richest people on earth, Warren Buffet said that this tax cut was absurd and said something like- "this helps me save 300 million in taxes, but it would do more for the US economy if $1,000 was given to 300,000 poorest families than 300 mil to me."
similarly, bush got rid of inheritance taxes. this is almost insignificant to the poor who often leave nothing or inherit nothing. even the middle class is basically unaffected by this. when you do some very simple analysis, guess who it benefits? wealthy bitches like paris hilton...

this argument is completely meaningless until the poor PAY as much in taxes as the rich.
as it is now, the rich pay 50% of ALL taxes collected. Imagine if the poor had to pick up their equal share.

these liberal dupes should get out more. Then maybe they would see the latest UN report detailing how WMDs were transported out of the country before and during the war.
