I'm confused about Monkey-Boy's "No tax hike to pay for Katrina"

[npincus]

does "tax hike" refer to getting rid of his tax cut for the rich? Is that what Piss-Boy means when he says he will not hike taxes to pay for Katrina? OR, is the Shit-Bag refering to a NEW tax that might be theoretically imposed to pay for Katrina?

Methinks those B*shco-bastards are using misleading language and exploiting the Katrina disaster to justify keeping their shitty, selfish tax cuts. I think they're trying to put one over on Americans, as though eliminating his shitty tax cuts for the rich would really affect the pocketbook of a middle-class or poor American.

This is a real question. What the fuck does this declaration mean?

1. Your grandchildren, if there is a job for them, will be paying for it.

2. It means he's going to use Katrina as yet another excuse...

...to slash domestic programs.

Heavens, no! We're not going to levy any new taxes on the rich. No, No, No. We're going to gut all the programs we want, and tell the American people we're acting responsibly to funnel the savings to the rebuilding of New Orleans and other areas hit by Katrina.

Pay no attention to Halliburton behind the curtain.

3. No question. Repukes all think repeals of tax cuts are increases.

And remember, the party line is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for wealthy in form of tax relief is = to more jobs and trickle down for the peons. Look for more tax cuts for weathy coming. Estate tax is a done deal.

8. Yep. They lie that a "rising tide lifts all boats", but we've seen

what a real rising tide exposes: severe economic disparity and lack of urgency to aid the poor.

4. it means if you aren't cutting taxes on the rich year after year

then you are in fact raising taxes, because without your resistance to the sacred taxcut theology, the PROMISED LAND WOULD BE HERE ALREADY.
Bush is the Messiah; his reign over the Tax Haven of New Jerusalem commenced 5 years ago. This is not 2005 but the Year Five of Our Lord's Dominion.You and all your tax hiking ilk must be liquidated.

The response to war with China or the burning of worthless T-Bills for kindling is now and ever shall be...MORE TOP-1% TARGETTED TAX CUTS.

5. Borrow and spend, the conservative way.

6. they'll be a tax hike alright, it will just be pushed off to the middle

class and disguised with Orwellian wording as something else. No worries, Paris Hilton won't have to give back a dime of what she has already, and will probably get another tax break right away. And we are the ones accused of creating class warfare.

I agree, it needs to be shouted loud and clear, middle class Americans DID get a tax increase, I know I did, and they will be the ones to get a tax increase again, the rich will keep the tax cut and it will be made permanent. Sheeple really need to know that, gas price increase is another tax on top of what else they have in store for us. The rest of the tax increase will come in the form of budget cuts for everything so that we will have to pay more for privatized services. Corporate welfare will continue, wealthy people will get richer and the middle class will become the poor. That's the plan. No repeal of the tax cuts for the haves and the have-mores, that's his real base after all, he said it himself.

7. Break the public treasury; disable entitlements; & for those able

Break the public treasury; disable entitlements; & for those able to continue, drive them in the direction of Wall Street (a la 'social security reform' and the Insurance Companies - - same plan Ronald Reagan had.

The result? A nation of filthy rich in part due to the government pork barrel spending ending up in the fat rat pockets of those connected, and the great unwashed homeless for whom there is no more safety net- - one stinking United States.

Some intreresting recent reportage about how Tom DeLay found 'no more fat' in the budget:

David A. Keene, chairman of the American Conservative Union, quickly noted that even excluding nonmilitary and non-homeland security spending, annual federal spending increased $303 billion between fiscal 2001 and 2005; the overall federal debt increased more than $2 trillion since fiscal 2000; and the 2003 Medicare prescription drug bill is estimated to increase the government's unfunded obligations by $16 trillion.

This is a fiscal house that is in order? If DeLay is looking for suggestions on where to cut, or for areas to find funds for hurricane relief, we point him to the recently passed federal highway bill, which included: $200 million for the so-called "bridge to nowhere" in Alaska (actually it will serve an island of 50 residents). $231 billion for a bridge in Anchorage, Alaska to be named after Rep. Don Young, a Republican congressman from the state who coincidentally chairs the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. $3 million for dust mitigation along rural Arkansas roads. $2.88 million to construct a bike/pedestrian path in Delta Ponds, Ore. And our favorite, $2.3 million for landscaping the Ronald Reagan Freeway in California.
