Meanwhile, back at nursery school, President Nookular will be
talking
about tax cuts again soon.

Do you think that a lot of this $$ is going into a lot of politicians
pockets - esp Bush and Cheney?

Directly....possibly.
Indirectly......absolutely.

Wow, for a dimwit that's pretty tricky. Funnelling money to his own
pocket by giving out tax cuts. You guys crack me up.


Whoever 'you guys' is....

Anyway, genius. The 'directly' part is easy to understand....they pay taxes,
a tax cut benefits them. Unless, of course, they have their money sheltered
in a way that the tax cuts don't affect them, which I assume is possible,
but I doubt it.

The 'indirectly' part is similarly easy to understand. Many of Bush's
cabinet, Cheney included, have tremendous business interests with
corporations who are beneficially impacted by the tax cuts. At the most
innocent, whatever is good for those businesses is good for people with
interests in those businesses....otherwise why have tax cuts, eh? At the
least innocent, those business and corporations are friends and friends pat
friends on the back. Can YOU tell US what happened in those closed-door
sessions with Cheney's Energy Task Force? Do you actually think these major
players are passing tax cuts for the average Joe? That a tax cut where the
top 1% of the wealthy recieves 43% of the cut actally benefits the average
American (who gets about a $289 benefit from it)? You crack ME up.
