George W. Bush's resume, page 2

I dare someone to tell me how a 350 Billion dollar tax cut is going to create jobs. Smells like reaganomics.

Life was better under Clinton because of one simple fact the Republicans will never admit:

He fought for the working man.

Can you tell me how raising taxes creates jobs in a capitalistic economy? Can you really make the case that the government needs total control over every aspect of life? I guess you're of the opinion that the only reason socialism has never worked is that the right people haven't tried it huh? Little hint, thats the idea everyone who has ever tried it and saw if fail has had. We are not talking about taking money from a poor defensless government , we are talking about leaving some of the profits in the business economy to put some capital back into a tired economy. I once used the analogy of a mule pulling a plow. Sooner or later, if you want it to keep producing a way to raise crops, your going to have to invest some of the corn it made it possible to raise into feeding it otherwise you'll have a dead tired mule that is no good for anything. You have the image of business owners as fat cats in thousand dollar suits lighting cigars with 50s but just walk to the closest business and ask to see the owner. Ten to one, he's working harder than anyone. Those big fat cats do exist and they sit in Washinton DC wanting bigger spending for social programs and they don't care how much they damage the mules that produce it. Next to the 128 trillion dollar budget that the gov. has for the next ten years, how is a 750 billion dollar tax decrease over the same period going to amount to a drop in the bucket? It isn't...but its power leaving Washington going back to the people..and that what hurts the socialists...er um..I mean liberals. Plus after the 40 billion dollar tax cut Bush pushed through last year, the democrats added 60 billion to their already fat budget and then blame the tax cut for the entire defecit. Ten years of over-taxation is whats to blame for the defecit. the fact that we Americans are expected to balance our spending by what we earn and pay our bills..and the politicians in Washington aren't? How can you defend the kind of waste that think it deserves a third of what some poor schmuck has put every last breath into making? Look at all the tax increases and gov. programs to aid the poor and yet after all that the poor grow in numbers. That tells me our beloved saviors on capital hill aren't doing squat for the poor. In fact, numbers last year prove that more money from independant charities got to the poor than aid from our well-meaning government. Wake up buddy. Realize who's the fat cats and who's really been getting screwed. And, during the Clinton Era of Prosperity, I lost almost everything...why, I stayed working and lived modestly...so why, because the FAKE money that was supposedly driving the economy didn't make it to me. I made real money and he taxed the hell out of that. remember 1993, 14% tax increase? I sure the hell do. The last thing I got from the gov was a n educational grant in 1987 until last year when the 600.00 refund came. The only two times money has flowed the other way and niether was under Clinton.

Oh and the big recession came about not only due to 9-11 but also because when the laws began to be enforced again, all the cooked books that had accumulated since 1995 when the laws were laxed brought it down. Even as early as 1998 Greenspan was saying that it didn't all add up and a major adjustment had to come and the longer it was allowed to go the harder it would hit..well it hit. When Robert Rupriechs buds at City Corp and Enron got found out. Why hasn't leiberman released any new info on how Bush had a hand in that?..because the deal was made in 1998 and compounded every year making it that much worse.

And as for the working man comment..wher did the Clinton's hang out..the Hamptons..Martha's Vinyard..

How about Bush? A ranch that he owns in a one-horse town in texas. Don't give me the old working man ideology or do you think Algore's Mom sung the Union label song to him in his crib ( when he was 17)? I am the working man, buddy. I'll tell ya who is for the working man when I look at my pay stub every month...and in my next post, I'm going to give you some info on who the rich truly support with hard numbers.
