    Obama Eyes $300 Billion Tax Cut - WSJ.com

    note: the above link is not huffington post (lib) or washington times (conservative).

    $282B cuts to indiv and business over 2 yrs. about 60% greater than the bush cuts that were previously the largest cuts ever.

    Who says? God knows what the republicans will deregulate next. Whatever it is, idle millionaires will get richer and people who work for a living get poorer.

    Dude, that was a year and a half ago, those tax credits were part of the stimulus. They aren't permanent.

    That was funny.

    Not proportionally. The bulk of their investment income gets taxed at a lower rate than middle class wage-earners.

    You freedoms are not abridged by the health plan. You can keep the one you have or choose a better one. Choose a worse one if you really want to.

    You have a right to elect representatives. If you can't elect enough that think like you, it's tough chit.

    neither were W's.

    pretty mf'n huge tax cut. dont hear much about it do we? id be surprised if more than half the teabaggers knew such a big chunk of the stimulus was tax breaks---so im sharing knowledge. doesnt make barry a naturalized citizen, unfortunately.

    That is crap. The regulations are what made the mess. The Fed and their easy credit system and the politicians saying "everybody needs to own a home".

    Millionaires get burned like everyone else it just depends how much at risk they put themselves. People who work for a living get poorer because their dollar is in the crapper and the govt. keeps driving up pricing. GREAT JOB GOVT!

    assuming this is true and it happened and is the biggest tax reduction or whatever, do you approve? is this how to start and economy, lower taxes and more spending? if so, dont you also favor bush policy?

    You haven't demonstrated that they ARE failures. You make wild claims and fail to back them up with evidence.

    This ignorance is not my problem. Go look it up. It was deregulation of the finance industry that permitted the bad loans that brought down the house.
