Well if you've ever felt exhausted after standing up all day from working damned hard at a low pay job, such as janitor, nurse's aide, or garbage person, I would hope you would feel very worthy of a tax cut.

Not very often that I lol at a headline. Their is no free lunch. Raising taxes on anyone causes prices to rise. The money taken from the business owners goes right back to them via the consumer. You can't hide a tax increase. The folks at the bottom always end up paying it. Cut spending. That works!

Cuba is still around. Ask the people at the bottom of thier economy how it works. You won't have trouble finding them because everyone outside the government is dirt poor.

It's not a cut when the percentage they pay in taxes becomes negative. Democrats call that a "credit". Some other names are "handout" "welfare" "collectivism"..etc...

Yes.
McCain plan of mortgage is socialism. He is trying to fix a problem that socialism created already.

Yes worthy of a tax cut, not worthy of a check for work he/she didnt do.

FAYETTEVILLE, NC - It seems every time the McCain camp launches an attack Barack Obama’s way, the frontrunner dismisses it like a tennis player who is about to smash a softly lobbed ball into oblivion.

For two days now John McCain has used the “s” word - socialism - in addition to “welfare” and “government giveaway” when talking about Obama’s tax cut proposals. At his rally in North Carolina today, Obama responded forcefully, called McCain’s tactics “the oldest trick in the book,” a scare tactic, and nothing more than name calling.
Yes, but unfortunately, there are millions of dumb-a** Americans who buy every bit of it: hook, line and sinker. Obama's black, he has a weird name--who the hell does this uppity Negro think he is???

Guess that's what happens when the educational system fails.
