why did we have so many tax cuts? is it so we (the people) would vote them into office (wichever one it may be)?? if thats the case then whose to blame? the government, or the people?
if its the people then we have no one to blame but ourselves, right???
sorry for the ignorance.

you don't remember the "George Bush tax cuts"
I clearly remember getting a check for a tax refund of around $3-500 and prior to GB, I usually got $300-400 dollars back in my tax returns, now I get around $1200 +/-
and no, I didn't vote for him, either time, I remember the distinct feeling he was bribing the general "I don't pay much attention to politics" type of people.
I'm just a lower middle class work a day guy. I'm fine with putting more money into the kitty if we can afford better beer for the keg party. but I'd prefer it if the alcoholic Military Industrial Complex doesn't crash the party and drink it all up.
