... and we won't even mention the money saved if we brought our troops back from Iraq ... or at least not yet.

It would certainly make a huge difference. There will certainly be a coming "TAXES SHOWDOWN" for someone is going to have to pay for this debacle in the Middle East. Naturally this will be blamed on the Democrats who are already aware of this. "Nero Fiddled While Rome Burned" Bush Barbeques while Washington Sinks. Same book different cover. Just remember this all you Conservative sheeple. "If You Dance You Will Pay the Fiddler".

What difference does the tax make if the states do not use the money to fix the problems. We have had two very good examples of the failing of the state to meet their responsibility in spite of receiving more than enough federal money. One being Louisiana where they willfully ignored the levies and spent money that was sent expressly for the purpose on other things. Now we have the collapse of a bridge that the state knew was rated at only 50% for years.
Federal tax is not even an issue in either case.

The economic ignorance of the left never ceases to amaze me.
The monies needed to maintain and repair our infrastructure are available, but many politicians don't bother with it. Why? BECAUSE IT ISN'T AS LIKELY TO BUY THEM VOTES! They would rather point to shiny new stadiums, bridges to nowhere, and other assorted pork and say "Looky here what your daddy brought home!"
The tax-cut part of your question is even more stupid. It is a PROVEN FACT that tax cuts create more investment that in turn creates more jobs and widens the tax base, thus increasing tax revenue.
The biggest danger we have in the US is our sorry system of education turning out semi-literate morons who can't even make change at McDonalds, let alone comprehend the workings of a capitalist economy.
I am getting sick of this crap. Please return to high school and repeat remedial economics. And please do not even think about voting (or reproducing) until then.
Have a nice day.

Interesting how the wealthiest 1% pay one third of all taxes in this country.
Also of interesting note how states without state income tax have better budgets and sometimes surpluses than states with income tax.
but to get back to your question, its been shown that this tiny tax cut Bush did (one of the few things he did right) has increased overall tax revenue.

I agree. although, "uncertainty" with reference to the destiny probable is one ingredient that has the wealthy people protecting their income "liquid" type -- money, mark downs bonds, etc. -- quite than making an investment it in new production. In different words, the flight of investors to larger liquidity is probable fed by using the seesaw nature of political debate approximately US financial coverage. not understanding despite if the Bush tax cuts would be reversed is probable extra discouraging to ability capital investors than the two a repeal of those cuts or an extension of them for an prolonged time. To motivate the wealthy capitalists to take a place in genuine stuff back, and not in simple terms carry their capital contained in this style of money, we probable could decrease the uncertainty. Defeating the completed GOP club of the domicile of Representatives and changing them with Democrats could be a reliable initiate in this.

It was across the board. I got a tax cut and I'm not in the 5% which by the way pay more of the collected taxes than any other percentage.

Excuse me, but I saved money on the "Bush tax cuts to the wealthiest 5%". A bigger lie about that tax break I don't know of.
I'm a teacher. I earn less than $40,000 a year.
I'm one of the wealthiest 5%?
That's insane.

No. The Federal government can not repair infrastructure through income tax - it must use specialty tax - right now it's coming from the gas tax/

NO. Keep the money flowing in this country. Why freeze the rich and thus, the economy? Stop thinking like a socialist.
