Bush urges Congress to make tax cuts permanent -Reuters
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As Americans face a deadline for filing taxes, President George W. Bush on Saturday pressed Congress to extend tax cuts, saying they create jobs and economic growth.

A push by House and Senate Republicans for $70 billion in tax cuts was derailed earlier this month before lawmakers went on a two-week spring recess.

The tax cuts would have extended the maximum 15 percent tax rate on capital gains and dividends beyond 2008. Without congressional action, capital gains taxes would jump to 20 percent and dividends would be taxed as regular income.

5. Yes...and hurry...
Before the Dems take control of Congress..

And with their ability to filibuster and block, the taxcuts will never be rolled back. Or so they believe.
