Bush pledges to protect working class tax cuts?

Being the average working families tax cut was 19 cents a week,

Would you be willing to give it up if the wealthy gave up their average 45K cut, or do you agree with Bush?

Update:

I paid $3000 on wages of almost 40K

That is about 1000 more than most wealthy people paid!

Update 2:

And LF guy, you didnt get a tax cut, you just got a better accountant

3 kids and a wife, that is 5 deductions-

    Trickle down economics didn't work under Reagan, and they aren't working under Bush. They should make the big businessman more accountable, taxable, and responsible.

    Businesses are like teenagers, if you turn your back on them, they are going to do what they like.

    What the businesses have shown a liking for is Moving all their businesses to other countries so they don't have to pay such a high wage. Then the government tells us that this a good thing, because now we will be able to afford the product. But the big question is: How can we afford the product if we don't have jobs?

    I didn't approve of any of the tax cuts in the first place. Not for big business OR the average Joe Schmoe. Our country had a lot of debt, and any surplus (which by the way, there wasn't any at the time) should have gone to pay the deficit.

    Please cite your source for these statistics. In 2004, I made $43K and supported a family of 3 on that. That's working class ain't it? My taxes dropped to zero that year, saving me about $1,500 from previous years.

    Additional Comment. The family of 3 I mentioned means me, my wife and 1 kid. Not 5. I always do my own taxes using tax software. Sorry, your weasily excuse just doesn't fly.

    Where are you getting these idiotic statistics from? Please post your source.
