Another point about these tax cuts...

[kentuck]

If people were making better wages, they would not worry about losing a small tax cut. The small tax cut was the best raise many workers received during the last ten years. And the government borrowed it to give to the little people as the Big CEO's and corporations raked in the profits. Four trillion little dollars. That's not much if you say it fast. But that is how much the Bush tax cuts, the voodoo economics, the trickle-down, the pissed upon cost our people in just ten short years. Those sorry, no-good m-f'ers stole too much from the people with their greedy ways. I should stop before I get wound up...

1. It does help highlight the lie. Why do we need draconian cuts if we can afford these tax cuts?

Either it's a crisis and we all suffer together, or it isn't and stop the austerity talk.

If it's a crisis, why are we talking about these budget busters. Just get our books balanced and be done with it before we talk about reinstituting new tax cuts.

If it isn't a crisis, get your mitts off Social Security and education.
