If Bush does Veto the bill...
The democrats should repeal all the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, to pay for THEIR war.

6. It's time for the haves and the have mores to sacrifice something too.
Edited on Tue Apr-03-07 02:14 PM by Hubert Flottz
The super wealthy always duck out on the fighting and their paying for their freedom and liberty.

Edit no other pResident in the history of our country, has given a tax cut in a time of war. Bush has given the richest people in the country, four tax cuts since 9/11!

3. Yes, if Dimson extends this war, they should repeal these
tax cuts for the wealthy IMMEDIATELY ... and with extreme prejudice. :thumbsup:

Let's contact our respective congress critters and give them A CLUE?

8. Repeal the cuts AND put in some temporary increases for the top 2%
to re-coup what we lost to them at a time of war.

Giving them a break while borrowing money from China to fight a needless war to further enrich many of the top tier is just plain obscene!

4. I like it. The only thing Bush's base loves more than Bush is their money.
Hit them where it hurts the most, right in their fat wallets.

7. They are going to have to do it sooner or later
Though probably by letting the tax cuts expire, I would guess.

They are less than 500. We are 300 million.

Edit...WE are 298,444,215 (July 2006 est.)

11. If it is only the House then we can do it. I know that in the past when
we found ourselves in power only in the House we still had the power to stop funding. If so we need to go for it.

12. He'd damn-well better! He promised to do it!
That's why it was safe for Dems to vote for more funding for the war.

13. I can't ever remember a single time when Bush has told the truth.
Half truths is about as close as he gets.
