the money the gov gets from taxes pays for a lot. the taxcuts that the rich get they just pocket the money, how can you say it should improve economy when now look whats happening. people who have jobs now work for much less and longer hours, because they do not want to loose thier job, i think, im not sure of the figures again but we work just about 200 more hours than the average european and we still earn less. the war actually is costing the nation way less than the tax cuts too. i remember reading from the bipartisan congressinal budget office that the taxcuts costs the nation 3times more than the war in iraq, and thats including homeland security and rebuilding after sept 11. just to hear that the bush administration probly knew about the possible terrorist attack and let it happen effects me personally since i live in NYC. i knew some families that had thier loved ones die, and i had a friend who was lucky enough to wake up late that awful morning and didnt come into his interview on time, just missing the attack. dont even get me started with the patriot act, its more like the oh if u are anti war and against our ideals u are a terrorist act. i remember durring the war when people who was against the war since day one were hated against just for thier opinion. this doesnt sound like a free nation to me anymore
