I was just wondering why the evil son was labeled as a "conservative".

The Bush tax cuts took 2 million low-income taxpayers off the tax rolls entirely.

If Bush's tax cuts targeted the most wealthy, then why were they paying more (percentage) in taxes in 2006 than in 2000?

Taxes paid by percent:

Top 1%
2000-------- 37.42%
2006-------- 39.89%

It seems BOTH party's elites like hiring illegals...of course both party's elites are millionaires.

More on the left side however.

Way to dodge a question. Where are all these jobs, if prior to Obama taking office the rich were happy enough to stay here and therefore provide tons of jobs?

Well as you wrote,they need their limo drivers and gardeners.

Also there WAS a lot of work available just a year or so back(well maybe two years now) in this country,so much we needed 20 million illegals to help out.

Point is the rich will pay a cost to live here(or anywhere)...but once that cost rises to a certain level they will simply relocate.

Expatriate movements are quite big online to various and sundry places that offer a better life for the price.

Gotcha, so in other words, the evidence is locked up in the same place you keep your relocation claims and "future loss of revenue" claims...in your imagination. Thanks, that answers my question.

Well, yes, that's just the point; no actual evidence is there. Still dodging the questions? Got any information/links/etc. to back up any of your claims yet? ETA: Besides "It's been done in Sweden" and "I know a marine who might do it".
