The Truth (Can You Handle It?)

The truth is that those Republican tax cuts Bush instituted helped every taxpayer...not just those "mean rich people" who "have enough" already

Of course, you won't hear that in the media. The figures below are public information if you want to confirm all this on your own. I even gave you a link to the official tax tables. It's not hard to find this stuff.  You just have to be willing to look for yourself instead of having your favorite (selfless) politicians tell you how it is.

If any democrat is elected, all of them say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can’t wait for it to happen because they have been sold on the idea that the Bush tax cuts are just a benefit for the rich. Talk about spin. By the way, a married couple made up of a teacher and a policeman likely make six figures (that's over $100,000 for you Florida voters out there).

I think the best solution to the inertia of the Welfare State dilemma is for some as-yet- unknown politician to have the stones to tell the people "yes, I am going to DC to reduce your Christmas presents, but I am also going to shrink your taxes in the process." The Fair Tax is a proposal that is already on the floor of the House and is already a great movement with gathering momentum. Two number one best-selling books have been written on the subject too. It would abolish the IRS and the unconstitutional income tax, and move us into a fair tax that makes everyone pay their share, and lessen the heavy burden that taxes place on companies, thus lowering the costs of every item. It would also make the U.S. a "tax haven" for business that would bring more of it here, rather than chase it away, as the current confiscatory system has done. Huckabee supports it, and McCain has said that he would "be willing to look at it." The best thing McCain could do to show true Conservatism is to openly support the Fair Tax in his campaign, and perhaps even put Huckabee on his ticket as V.P. That would console us Conservatives far better than any thing else he could possibly do. Even if he didn't do anything else in office that was Conservative, the Fair Tax would do much of that work for him.
