Yeah, that was the money Bush insisted was ours and proceeded to give it

That's a lie. 70% of people in the second-lowest quintile benefited from
the cuts. Even 16% of those in the *lowest* 20% benefited - and most of
them don't pay income tax.

The share of total federal taxes paid by the 80-99th percentile of
earners *increased* by half a percent (you're welcome).

Those in the top 1% had the greatest absolute benefit, yes - because they
pay more in taxes than anyone else.

And they need the money more than anyone else.

It's astounding that you place no significance whatsoever on the fact
that it's theirs in the first place. They've worked or risked or
invested to obtain it.

And - regardless of who "needs" it (and in my opinion, a government whose
biggest expense is paying interest on its out-of-control-spending is the
abso****ing *LAST* one who needs it) if a tax rate - any tax rate - is
lowered, of course the ones who pay the most will save the greatest
number of dollars. It's just math.

What's astounding is that folks like you don't recognize the middle
class is getting wiped out while the wealthy increase their lot.

What you don't recognize is fair play or perhaps we just have
radically different views on parity.

Evidently so.

And excluding the wealthy from an across-the-board tax cut isn't going to
change whatever "wiping out" you think is going on. If you really think
people have zero claim to what they earn, you might as well advocate all
wages being put together and divided equally. I guess you'd think that's
"fair"?

I've asked others with no good answer. The state and feds take 50% of my
income (before gas tax, sales tax, property tax, liquor tax, etc., etc.,
etc.,). You apparently think that's not too much - but to you, how much
*would be* too much?

different views on parity.

Yes, I believe in the crazy notion that people are entitled to what they
work for.

That mess was caused by both sides of the aisle, not just one.

Bush tax cuts among other things. Still, Obama is doing what he can
to fix things.

He's not. He has an agenda that runs counter to fixing things. You
don't spend billions upon billions on pointless bull**** when you
inherit a deficit and fix anything.

So what would you do? What solutions did the Republicans offer?

That's a start. ;)

Sleep well tonight,

Let's see if I have this healthcare thingy right. Congress is to pass
a plan written by a committee whose head has said he doesn't understand
it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it, signed by a president who
hasn't read it, with funding administered by a Treasury chief who didn't
pay his taxes because he didn't understand TurboTax, overseen by an obese
Surgeon General and financed by a country that's nearly broke.
What could possibly go wrong?

You said the Courts ruled that FOX can tell their people to lie...

Are you denying it?
