Thread Name: BS: Tax Rebate - Thanks, Mr. President
Subject: RE: BS: Tax Rebate - Thanks, Mr. President
A couple days ago it was revealed that, in addition to the letters sent to the lucky recipients of refunds, the Bush people are sending letters 34 million people and telling them that they are not going to get anything--So for every happy check recipient like Claymore, there will be bunch of other people who are mad because they didn't get anything. Another brilliant move from a man who could teach Dan Quayle a few things about potatoes--

A couple days before that, it came out that there really wasn't quite as much surplus as they expected that there would be, about 90 billion less than there had been when Clinton was running things--

Anyone who thinks for a minute can see that the reason that we have a surplus in the first place is because under Clinton, a lot of people who were un- and underemployed during the Bush/Reagan economies finally had decent jobs and were paying taxes instead of collecting unemployment--

Bush has sent our economy into a tailspin, which is what his father did before him, and a fair number of those taxpayers are going to be turned into unemployement check collectors--and that sad little check that Claymore is so proud of is about one week's worth of unemployement--of course Bush's real friends could care less about our economy--they all have lots and lots of money,and they love hard times, because their money buys even more then--
