So much for Bush's tax cuts

"WASHINGTON - If it seems like your taxes have been going up, they probably have ? at least at the state level.

State taxpayer burdens increased by an average of 41 percent from 1994 to 2004, according to newly released data from the Census Bureau. Only one state, Alaska, saw the amount it collects per person decline.

Even when the numbers are adjusted for inflation, the individual tax burdens increase in 43 states."

Common sense can tell you this would happen. Cuts federal taxes for the rich thus you cut money you give to the states to pay for these tax cuts then the states RAISE taxes( mostly on the poor ) to get that money back. Der duh! So Bush can say he cut taxes when quite the opposite is true.
