To all those getting a tax cut from Bush.......
do you need all the money that you're getting from it? Keep in mind that you wouldn't have it if Bush hadn't had authorized the tax cut. You would be finding some other way to make it.

On that note, has anybody considered using their tax cut to give to an organization?

I was thinking that in light of the global gag order, that we should give money that we can sometimes spare (perhaps from a tax cut if one got one) to an organization that has been deprived of funding because of the gag order.

One major example would be International Planned Parenthood.

http://www.ippf.org/

They do good work, and you could write Bush and tell him what you did with the tax cut he gave you. LOL.

I'm just thinking that if Bush isn't going to allow money to be given to these international organizations that dare to speak about abortion, then we should try to give money to those organizations ourselves. Perhaps if enough people across the country did it, it would make a little bit of a difference (but probably not nearly as much of a difference as the original government funding gave). Anyway, these organizations need our help. Just a thought.

3. your post totally confused me
at first. I was thinking something akin to an unemployment reform that *looks* good on paper, but really sucks.

then i got the *joke*

I'm sorry about your job situation.

2. Yep, already doing it
and sponsoring three kids in Iraq. Actually, giving much more than the piddling tax 'cut' he gives to middle-income people like me.
