And that's about it. The education issue, "No Child Left Behind," is an empty shell of a program with unrealistic goals, and was never fully funded. The tax breaks primarily went to the rich, who did not by and large reinvest them in business. Better to give most of the money to the working class, which would immediately pump it back into the economy, because it _really needs the money_. The tax cut has stimulated the economy a little, but inefficiently: kind of like keeping warm by burning money instead of buying wood with it.

I thought that if people made over $40000 in our society they are consider middle to upper class. Everyone i know who made that amount or more got the tax cut. There are more people making that amount then millionairs, and those people aren't rich.
You only got a tax break if you pay taxes. I'm so confused on why people would want other to have money if they didn't pay taxes.
What did I do with my $300 dollars? I fixed my brakes, which in turned lead to a mechanic making his wage earn his pay. I don't think the plan of the tax cut was for us to get the money and just give it away.
I am very comfortable in America with the fact that you have to "Earn" your money. I would never tell a group that they can't be more then they are and can't live the lifestyle they want.
In the last 4 years, Bush has made me feel like the President's posistion is one that garners respect. Bush made some very difficult decisions, but they were his decisions that he believe made his job better. I don't feel threathened at all about Bush's policies, and I honestly respect the man for doing what he has done the last 4 years. His job is to secure the american people, and he's taken actions to do so. Most of his actions are agreed to by others, democrats and republicans, but even his democrat "Supporters" started attacking him while he's trying to lead our troups (who very much respect him).
This is all subjective. There will be a rush of TFP leftist who will scream "Show me articles, show me blah" where those articles won't affect how they think or see at all. When it comes to politics you only agree with something if it helps your own cause.
All I know is through personal revelation, and watching Bush through the last 4 years, I am proud to not be a democrat anymore and more a libertarian conservative.
Honest question guys, I've noticed and I wonder about you...Have you noticed that many people would change from liberal to conservative but the numbers that change from conservative to liberal tend to be extremely lower?
I know a lot of "Individuals" who change after they relieze that how much of their personal freedom they would give away to convert from an individual to a diversified (and thus labelled) group, which the Democratic Dogma promotes.
