One of the old saws that some people claim Bush's tax cuts gave money to the rich at the expense of the rest of us. Not so. Not by a long shot. Joint Economic Committee Releases Tax Cuts Make Tax System More Progressive. Will one of the naysayers please explain how we can possibly make the system more progressive? While we're at it, please explain why it is fair to put such an enormous burden on one group of people?
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
