Bush Tax cuts Bad for Small Businesses, Paid for by Lower and Middleclass.

Here's a video clip collection that pretty much tells the Bush tax cut story, and why it really is an amazing argument coming from Republican deficit hawks and supporters of private business investments. David Cay Johnston is an intelligent voice cutting through the politics.



Something I've got to get off my chest: Because politicians borrowed from the Social Security surplus fund, we are now expected to make cuts to the program to keep it solvent. Sorry, no!!!

The fund was a tax on the lower and middleclass that was used by the politicians and the wealthy for reckless spending. They used our retirement safety net for spending. They can't just walk away and say Soc. Sec. is broke and the money is gone forever.

Who the hell said borrowed money doesn't need to be paid back? Politicians and the wealthy who benefited from their little middleclass slush fund have to pay us back. Period.
