In time that will happen, and after todays tax cuts, there is a good chance it will happen before the elections. It is truly sad to see the democrats pushing to stop the tax cut simply because they want the economy to suffer so that way Bush won't get re-elected. typical tricks, they won't be happy till we are all paying all our income to taxes and then let the government dispurse funds equally to all who work or don't work, sounds to me like a form of government that won't work, ask the russians!
It reminds me of a saying I heard.
at the age of 18 if you are not a bleeding heart liberal, you have no heart, but at the age of 40 if you are not a conservative you have no brain!....or something like that

Do you honestly believe that Democrats want the economy to get worse? Don't let your tendency to be a conspiracy theorist (we all have that to a degree) get the best of you. Democrats oppose the tax cut because it puts money into the hands of people that already have money to begin with. They don't need it. So while people who are already rich get richer, health care and education programs suffer from being underfunded. The theory is that with the extra money, these CEO's will stimulate the economy, but I don't see it happening. It's a drop in the bucket for these people, whereas if you gave cuts to people who are struggling as it is, it's several buckets' worth to them. And while it sounds awful and irritating and annoying, high taxes for a slightly more socialistic society isn't going to turn us into the Soviet Union. It may turn us into Canada or Sweden, which I don't think is all that bad. I wouldn't mind having to never worry about whether or not I'll have health care, even if it means I take a bit more of a hit in my paycheck.
