Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
Huh!!?
AK
Let's start again.
Bush claims he want to cut taxes for the working class. Well MOST people who work make less than 25k a year. You got that!!
MOST of their taxes are in the form of the payroll tax. Look at your check stub sometime if you don't know what that is - obviously you don't.
ALSO most of these working people pay minimal or no income tax. So they could not have gotten an income tax cut or a miniscule tax cut at best.
BUT their payroll tax didn't change one penny - is that clear?
So they didn't get an income tax cut and they are still paying the same payroll tax. Not to mention we all pay excise tax for pumping gas, and using the phone (read your phone bill sometime).
If most working people didn't get a tax cut and are still paying the same tax they've always paid how can you say that Bush wanted to give a tax cut to the working class and is not lying about that. Am I missing something here - or do you just not get it?
Since you obviously don't understand govt accounting ALL tax is lumped into one general fund so even though the payroll tax is supposed to go to Social Security and Medicare it is being used to fund the war in Iraq or something.
Also it is evident you don't care about the future because you support a tax cut that your children will have to pay back in spades so that you can consumer spend or something - what's so tired about that argument?
