It's time for me to take a slap at George W. Bush. While I agree with a lot of things he says and does, this one needs to be slapped back.

George has said "no" to raising gas taxes to pay for needed bridge repair work. I can definately see where he's going with that line of thinking "gas prices are too high", which I agree with.

However, there's a difference between not raising taxes and cutting taxes.

George wants to look at cutting corporate taxes.

President Bush said yesterday that he is considering a fresh plan to cut tax rates for U.S. corporations to make them more competitive around the world, an initiative that could further inflame a battle with the Democratic Congress over spending and taxes and help define the remainder of his tenure.

Advisers presented Bush with a series of ideas to restructure corporate taxes, possibly eliminating narrowly targeted breaks to pay for a broader, across-the-board rate cut. In an interview with a small group of journalists afterward, Bush said he was "inclined" to send a corporate tax package to Congress, although he expressed uncertainty about its political viability.

George, just TODAY you have expressed concern about China's immense amount of financial power they have and how "foolhardy" it would be for them to exert any pressure on bringing down the dollar. That's a giant red flag that should be going off in your head. It should be a wake up call that you can't keep spending like there's no tomorrow.

One of the core Republican values is lesser government and lesser spending. So why cut taxes on some of the biggest tax payers when the country is desperately in need of getting out of debt? It's idiocy at best and negligence at worse.

You're uncertain of it's political viability?? Really genius? You think that cutting taxes to corporate taxpayers is going to fly in a Democratically controlled Congress? Those are the same people who want to "take the profits of oil companies". So you have ZERO chance of that flying.

Stop the waste, stop the extravagant spending, and get this country out of debt. You wouldn't pay less on your credit card bill, so why are you doing esentially the same thing?

If businesses need to compete on a world market, let them adjust like any other company in the US has done for hundreds of years. If they can't adjust, they die out. Simple as that. Getting unfair competition from other countries? Raise tariffs. That will level the playing field. China and other countries can't afford to lose the American market, so they'll adjust too.
