    I wanted to see the ad which politicizes the spet. 11 attacks on america, but this picture caught my eye...

    MORE TAX RELIEF!!!! For who??? Not a man in a hard hat... Not a police officer or fire fighter.. but a white business man with a nice suit on... yes can we please give this man some more money!!!!??

    Whats the 3 mean by the way? Is that the number of tax cuts bush has given the elite upper bracket? The number of wars he wants to start? The number of times he was absent from the national gaurd? the close to three million people that have lost thier job under this admin? or is it a dubya?

    :p

    Isn't that the 3 finger Serbian nationalist salute that Vlade Divac gives?

    Or maybe anticipating impeachment in the second term this guy is calling for 3 more years.

    :rolleyes:

    Another person that doesn't know what he's talking about...In case you haven't noticed, there was tax relief for the middle class...I received my check last year and the past two years that I've filed have been good for me and my family...

    What we really need to be talking about is Property Tax Relief from the Harris County Appraisal District...

    Let's see... the Federal government comes out with unfunded amd underfunded Federal mandates (like "no child left behind", for example) and state and local government scramble to find the money. In our case, Texas, the Republican controlled state government refuses to raise any revenue, even an increase in the cigarette tax, so even more of a load falls to local governments. Local taxes skyrocket. Coincidence? I think not. Cause and affect? Absolutely.

    Look who's talking. If your beloved President was serious about tax relief, he would do something about payroll taxes, since they take the biggest bite out of a working person's paycheck.

    Since your beloved President wouldn't know a working person if he ran over one in his golf cart, I'm not holding my breath.

    Tax Relief to the Bush Administration is a nom de plume for making the rich richer.

    Let's not forget how these federal tax cuts invariably lead to greater sales taxes, the most regressive tax there is.
