Question I must ask
I saw a bumpersticker on some square head's car that said, "If you liked your tax cut, thank me. I voted for Bush."

I am livid. I haven't seen ONE DAMNED NICKEL and I know everyone else out there hasn't either. Tell me if you saw a single dime. This %$#@&
thinks someone besides fellow square heads got something from this bozo administration besides the shaft.

1. Even if you got a few bucks, you lost at least as much in services
The tuition increase alone here in California negates any tax savings.

2. True. Our gut bag senator, Uncle Ted Stevens managed to pork
out 1.5 MILLION DOLLARS for a bus stop. A single frickin' bus stop. I tell you. I am at the end of my tolerance today. I suppose I will be arrested if I don't go soak in a tub.

3. No tax cuts for my family.
Of course, my household is one of teachers, one of whom works three jobs.

4. uh, nope, no tax cut here.
We weren't rich enough for our tax "cut" to translate into any savings when offset by state tax increases.

9. More replies:
"Honk if you like your higher state and local property taxes to make up for funds lost to Bush's "tax cut."

"Honk if you like the higher interest rates caused by Bush and his Republican Congress's deficit spending."

"Honk if you like the high gas and home fuel costs going directly into the pockets of Bush's friends in the oil industry here and in Saudi Arabia."

10. I'll probably get flamed
for this but I got quite a bit back. Since I own my own business (a bar) not only do I pay about $40 a week less but more importantly my matching the employees contributions dropped by $200 a month. Before you flame me I gave back those savings by giving my bartenders a 50 cent raise and myself $50 a month.

11. I got my Fed income taxes cut.
But my state income tax went up & my property tax went up, now they're debating about increasing the sales tax, too.

Garsh, thanks a lot square-head!

(and this aside from the fact that Republicans are EVIL incarnate...)
