Bush is Crippling Unborn Children with Debt and Giving the Rich Tax Cuts

Yesterday the Senate voted to pass Bush's tax cuts for the most wealthy Americans. The bill passed 54-44, so at least it was good to see most all of the Democrats sticking together on this one. Sen. Boxer discussed how these tax cuts affect Americans...

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) noted that someone earning more than $1 million a year would get a tax break worth $41,977.

"Well, you might say, `What does someone who earns $41,000 get back?' $46. Not even enough to fill up your gas tank in some cases," she said.

The tax cuts worth $70 nillion over the next 2 years just adds to the gigantic deficit that Bush (and Jim Nussle) has piled up. No other President in US history has cut taxes in a time of war and now Bush has done it at least 3 times. While our children are over fighting the war, these tax cuts just mean that they are the same ones that will be paying for it.
