Regarding the tax cuts, since government spending is going up, these tax cuts are being made at the expense of our children and grandchildren. If our country and ports worth defending, and our children worth not being left behind, then we should pay for it ourselves.
Bush calls economic stimulus giving millionaires a tax cut while removing money for the poor, and for veterans. In fact, poor people tend to throw all of their money back into the local economy while rich people tend to either save their discretionary income or spend it on imported goods.
Bush campaigns heavily on the repeal of the death tax, but this tax only affects the portion of estates beyond $2,000,000. That doesn't sound populist to me. The Democrats offered alternative proposals including only taxing estates beyond $100,000,000 but the Republicans were intransigent.
Simply put Bush's tax cuts are kickbacks to the elite which has been financing his campaign, paid for by indebting our future generations, and short-shifting the education and defense of our country.
