Viga, your post about tax cuts to Cainehill is full of fecal matter. As someone who was making over $70k/yr., well up in that "top 50%" Category, my tax cut amounted to a whopping $300, which is less than 2% of my annual tax burden. For that, I can look forward to far more than $300 in *increased* taxes later, when it eventually comes time to pay the piper and compound interest gets factored in. Debt is bad. Period. I don't pay credit card interest, and I resent like hell being forced to pay interest on the massive debts the government foolishly incurs in order to please corporate entities and wacko economists. "Supply-side" economics was proven to be a bankrupt ideology (to steal a phrase from Reagan) during the rosy years of Reagan and Bush Sr., and it's just as silly today under Bush Jr.. It simply does not work in the real world. But, we all know that Bush Jr. & friends do not live in the real world ...
