This is no accident, who do you think fucked up the budget with over spending and trillions of dollars in tax cuts? Maybe if our government werent running in a deficit we wouldnt have a problem saying "Dont tax the internet"

To all the people who say cutting federal taxes creates jobs, you are wrong, cutting state AND federal taxes will create jobs.

If you just cut federal taxes all it does is cause state taxes to rise, if you cut state taxes and raise federal taxes on everyone same situation.

So what is Bush going to do to make states lower taxes?

Don't forget when your taxes go up, your shoes come off [in airports] and your kids get "reprogrammed patriotically" to snitch, this is all to prevent the terrorists from winning :-)

I say the best thing americans can do is diassociate from Bush and offer him as a war criminal :-)

Hmm... $87B for a war, less than half of that for education.... yeah your new tax dollars would be well spent.... :-|

Actually, Dean wants to spend that tax money giving people free healthcare.

Alot of families will benefit when they get higher pay, the economy will benefit when companies no longer have to give you healthcare. Think about it alittle more before coming to conclusions, this would be great for the middle class, I think it could be a bit of a problem for the drug and medicine industry but for the individual universal healthcare is great.
