What I don't understand is why would anyone want a Democrat, all they will do is raise your taxes.

"Don't send me a bill with a tax increase" - I agree with that

"Our brave men and women" - I agree with that

"Approve the free trade agreements" - I agree with that

"Make tax cuts permanent" - I agree with that

"Pell grants for kids" - I agree with that

And much more -

Not bad

Not bad at all

Well. you must be the "rich" that get the tax break.. because not making the rich peoples tax breaks permanent would surely cause your tax bill to increase.. but will more evenly spread the burden rather than shifting it to the middle class families that are TRULY struggling.

"Our brave men and women" - I agree with that

"Approve the free trade agreements" - I agree with that

"Make tax cuts permanent" - I agree with that
See my first respones.. those tax cuts were for the wealthy further placing the burden of the defecit on teh middle class.. who, btw, can't afford their damend health care!

"Pell grants for kids" - I agree with that

And much more -

Not bad

All words.. no action. the U.S has gone in the crapper during his presidency!

With respect, the Democrats in Congress are for raising your taxes.

From your response I believe you get most of your information from watching tv. Wealthy people pay more in taxes than most middle class people make. And that handy little tax rebate goes to the people who don't pay a lot of taxes. The rich get nothing, that is pretty fair. Did you ever wonder why a lot of corporations move overseas. Taxes.

Can anyone think of a less relevant charade.

Anybody want to play a drinking game and every time Bush says "Muslim Extremists" you drink?
Well darn it! I would have tolerated it if I knew there was drinking involved.
All the applause before the monkey had finished his act while his handler Cheney smirked in the background was too much for me.

No.. they are for CUTTING THE TAX CUTS TO THE WEALTHY and diverting tax money BACK to the problems at HOME>. NOT Taxing us to death only to help other people in other countries.

They are for easing the burden on middle class families, rather than easing it for those that already don't need it!
