The way I see it, the more money in my hands and out of government's hands the better, and any politician willing to cut taxes would increase my approval of him/her.

At the expense of funding education, police, fire, homeland security, infrastructure, etc.? I agree that we shouldn't be raising taxes all *****-nilly, but cutting taxes permanently won't fix what's broken. We need to stop wasting tax dollars... and not by creating more government to check to make sure we are stopping waste.

That is the only thing cutting taxes is going to do - increase approval. It's not going to stimulate ****.

Exactly. Cut taxes not at the expense of those services.

You said "*****"...

A tax rebate ($800/$1600 now) will stimulate approval. Long-term tax cuts will stimulate the economy in the long run.

I think we're agreeing here.

I think you guys are talking about the tax rebate, I was talking about the tax cut and making it permanent.

Speaking for about seven minutes, Bush called passing a growth package "our most pressing economic priority." But he also used his announcement to defend his tax cuts, which are set to expire unless the Democratic-led Congress opts to extend them.
