Dana, the tax cut has already helped me and my family. We are getting an extra $160 a paycheck right now.

The executive just benefits a couple of hundred times more. Just like that tax cut. I was reading today about how Bush is still saying it will help small businesses expand. ::snicker:: If I amend my return to not take my disaster loss deductions I *might* get $500 bucks and yepper, I'll expand with that, I'll expand my hard drive is what I'll do.... I am beginning to think the Bush administration is operating on the Big Lie principle. If you say it often enough with a straight face, people will believe it. Reminds me of a story that ran in Sunday's Journal (print edition). I looked for a link to it afterwards and did not find it on the Journal site or elsewhere on the internet, but apparently some huge percentage of Americans truly believe that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and we found them, And also that some of the 9/11 hijackers were Iraqi. And they believe this because their government wants them to. It is to weep. Dana On Mon, 16 Jun 2003 22:35:23 -0500, Kevin Schmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The taxpayer has a job doesn't he.
