I keep hearing conservatives complaining about how Democrats are taking so much in taxes out of everyone's paycheck (actually, cons only care about their OWN paycheck, not anyone else's)... yet Bush hasn't done anything about this. So why not?

Wow. Not one intelligent answer.
What a freaking shock.

Actually he did for the wealthy and corporations only, you know his class of people. We can only hope congress limits the damage until the day he leaves the white house!

Actually, the United States Congress enacted a tax break during the Bush administration and you and I enjoy the benefits of that every year.
I don't believe that democrats "are taking so much money". It is the federal government, state government, and local government that taxes us, and there is room for improvement at every level.
Aside from the politics of the issue, I don't think any reasonable person would argue that our collective government is too fat, too encumbered by special interest, and too motivated by politics. All of us, the rich and poor should pay less tax!
As for the rich, I never understood the argument that they should pay a higher tax rate because they make more money. They pay an enormous amount of money in taxes and like it or not, they are the nitrous oxide in our economy. Let's not penalize people just because they are successful and have more than the majority.
On the other hand, let's not give income tax rebates to those who do not work - that is politicizing the issue and it is morally wrong and encourages a welfare state.
There is also no debate that since the tax breaks, there has been more federal revenue than ever, and more money in my pocket and yours means we spend more and the economy expands.

You're right. I voted for him, and have been disappointed that he hasn't vetoed ONE spending. While I support the tax cuts, he could and should have done more..
Why not? I think he truly believes that by increasing entitlement spending, he will get a few deadbeats (those who are receiving these benefits) to change from Democrat to Republican. In other words, as far as entitlemements goes, he's trying to out Democrat the Democrats!
I personally will be glad when he's out of office, and we can get a real conservative in there.

He did.
If you had a job, your paycheck would have been bigger.
If you ever get a job, you can thank Bush for your bigger paycheck.
I keep hearing liberals on Yahoo wanting Working People to pay more taxes.
That's because liberals don't work.
Liberals live off taxpayers.

If you want to be overtaxed, move to France (like you libs promised to do in 2004).
