I am with you bubba...besides who control congress it is the democrats..President alone cant control everything without the backing of congress..Vote Republican..

Since the accross the board Bush tax cuts the American economy has recovered from recession,gone through boom times. Were it not for the Democratics threat to raise taxes we would still be in boom times.The absolute worst thing that can happen to a growing economy is the presumption that we are returning to a tax and spend policy.

The first problem with your theory, is the fact that the Bush tax cuts applied only to the wealthy. The middle class and poorest received the largest portion of the cuts. Please read my blog on the Hillary Tax Plan, it gives actual data proving my point. Hillary is proposing to retain middle/lower income tax cuts, better known as the Bush tax cuts. I know that the Democratic candidates are allowed to call it a tax cut for the rich, after all it is the liberal media allowing them to get away with it.

There are 2 questions you need to ask yourself! According to liberals Bill Clinton never gave a tax cut to the wealthy, but there was a recession at the end of his second term. Why?
Jimmy Carter did not cut taxes on the wealthy, in fact he raised taxes, why was there an economic malaise in the late 70's?

You Republicans are showing signs of classic denial!

The economy and markets started to tank almost to the day the Republicans took control of our country. I know, because I bought a house when Bill was president and took possession after Bush was in office (in January). It makes it easy to see how things started sliding just after I got into my new home.

Of course, that also depends on which "economy" you're talking about. Of coures the rich are propering! At rates never before seen in history! And the leeches who latch onto the rich and feed their addiction are doing very well, usually for doing no actual work that produces anything of value (hedge fund managers, investment agents, etc.) Sure, those who manipulate money and lie and cheat are doing GREAT these last seven years.

It is the WORKING American who is suffering and losing gound every day since Jan, 2001.

This slide started long before the mid-terms, and to say the Dems "control" Congress is nothing short of ridiculous. Republicans, holding a 48% minority with Bush ready with his veto pen ready, are still FIRMLY in control, make no mistake about it.

But, as we all know, that IS about the change in less than a year, isn't it?

Or is that another reality you'd rather deny?

"Of coures the rich are propering! At rates never before seen in history!

I am not rich and I did not leach off the rich. I work hard and produce results, and I do not work in finance. None of this applies to me, and I did good financially under Bush.

Jimmy Carter did everything economically, that you are dreaming about in the future, and yet there was an economic malaise, that had not been seen since the depression. If liberal economics is the answer, why did it not work during the Carter Administration.

Okay, jsage, how about I use some facts AND some name calling...

George Bush is a liar.

There. Now that's calling him a name, but it is also based on a fact! LOL

And speaking of tax cuts for the rich, what is the capital gains tax rate this year (FY 2007) for millions and billions in profits?

Go look it up. It's on the front page of your Tax package (well, assuming you Republicans even get one - maybe you're exempt from taxes for inheriting too much or something)

Gee, most Americans have millions and billions in capital gains, don't they? Gee, then why do most Americans pay more tax on their median incomes of $45,000 than the rich do on their millions and billions? Hmmmmm, I wonder....

Them's some facts for ya!

I think Sik attended the socialist school of brain-washing. Lost cause!

In theory, the rich are supposed to pay more taxes. The problem is all of the loopholes and tax shelters available. If we elimated them, we could give everyone a tax cut (yes, even the rich) and still generate revenue.
