3. What's $150 Billion dollars in tax cuts for the rich between friends, anyway?
After Bush started a trillion dollar war in Iraq and a trillion dollar war in Afghanistan, this is peanuts.

The problem is, this inequity will have to be paid for in the future, and taxing the poor won't raise nearly that much money.
So, the rich are going to get have to make bigger sacrifices in the future that will cost them more than the sacrifices they put off today.

It's like that old commercial with the mechanic who said "You can either pay me now, or pay me later."

Either pay for the tuneup today, or for the engine overall later on.
It's your choice.
