Bush's tax cuts

The Republicans, led by the Tea Partiers, and supported by the Blue Dog Democrats have been arguing for quite some time that continuing unemployment insurance will put a damper on those people looking for jobs.

But these same people are the ones saying that continuing the Bush Tax Cuts will stimulate the economy.

Where do they get that idea from? How do they justify that giving additional money to people who already have plenty of money to spend is better for the economy than giving money to people who will need to spend the money?

Besides, under President Bush and his tax cut, the economy - in which more people fell below the poverty line while the rich got richer - collapsed.

How much more proof do they need than what has already been shown to be wrong?

Only fools make the same mistake more than once.

As for the Tea Partiers, they have to watch what's going into their tea. The stuff they are putting in their tea seems to kill the thinking process.

Greed is part of the nature of the right wing haves. Then they spend their later life trying to distribute that which they stole. We need a very strong administration who can stand up to the righties, stop the draining war, and produce many more jobs. We need someone who will tell the truth over and over again in first grade language.
What disturbs me are the average citizen who thinks that the tax cuts will affect them too! They are seduced by the propaganda that the haves are spreading
