    A tax cut is something I can usualy agree with. As long as they come with spending cuts.

    More breaks for those who have enough deductions to itemize, less than 35% of us.

    Just apply for them. You'll probably get them. You could name one Jihad B. DeathtoAmerica and probably get one.

    They pay less as a percentage of their income. They only pay more because they make more money.

    I'll never understand some one in the middle class kissing rich peoples asses.

    So if I'm understanding this correctly, when times are hard economically it's fiscally responsible to go about and take on the added expense of a pet? And if you spend your money irresponsibly and buy a pet you can't afford, you should be rewarded with a tax credit? I don't think I follow the logic here. :confused:

    Not to mention that this is being championed by the absolute worst Bond villain of all time. I vote no strictly based on that.
