2. What a gross
elitist political whore. Fuck the wealthy. Let's concentrate on the impoverished and make (just as it always was, before Reagan) the wealthy pay a progressive tax. In the '60's the top tax bracket was around 90%. That is for the Billionaires. They still made billions. Making the "top tax rate" end at $250,000 ? That is the epitome of Feudalism. Get real. Lets take our government back. Fuck the top measly 5%. Lets fucking force "our" government to work for the majority 95% who own less than 2% of the wealth. FAIR TRADE not FREE TRADE. Rebuild a manufacturing base. A "Service Economy" can not be anything but a Third World economy with the worlds largest Military Arsenal.
How fucking UNFAIR is that for the majority? Feudalism.
Take to the streets all over America and DEMAND MAJORITY RULE. That is a democracy !!!

In other words hes opposed to keeping the middle and lower class tax cuts and letting the tax cuts on the wealthy expire. In reality wouldn't that be the best option that makes the most sense?

6. The whole premise for the tax cut was bullshit from the beginning
The premise for the tax cut was based on supply-side economic pseudo theories. Those theories were rejected by the vast majority of economists back when Raygun came up with that nonsense. The very study that Shrub commissioned proved supply-side was bullshit, yet they cut taxes on the rich AGAIN. However, somehow Democrats have bought into this notion that raising taxes (or more accurately removing unwarranted and foolish tax cuts) is the kiss of death politically.

7. So he says that you have to find a way to pay for spending increases,
but you don't have to pay for decreased revenue? That makes no sense whatsoever.

8. They let the tax cuts in for the poor and not so poor;
And it costs piddly shit, then the call for tax cuts costing hundreds of billions for the rich will follow.

12. Kyle is a hypocrit. Tax cuts to those who ain't got mean liitle. Cuts to those who owe and can
afford are theft.
