Bushy people love their tax breaks well...lookie here...they are GONE
The tax breaks, if any, that average families received under Bush's tax cut program, have long ago been siphoned away at the pump. Yet, while traveling in California last weekend, Bush warned of even higher prices with vacation time approaching.

In a feeble attempt to appease the public this week, Bush said he will temporarily divert oil used to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve into the market to drive prices down. Apparently acknowledging the act as a do-nothing remedy, Bush made the comment, "Every little bit counts."

I doubt that many people appreciated a snide remark like this coming from a guy who has never had to balance a checkbook, never had to worry about paying a heating bill or filling up the gas tank, but who now, through some perverse twist of fate, maintains a stranglehold on the nation's purse strings.

And lives where he works. Jerk needs to quit playing war god. Or Congress needs to take his tiara and scepter away from him.

7. Tax Cuts? in Broward County Florida, County Parks are going to be closed tomorrow. the day after
thanksgiving, and christmas day. The reason: TAX CUTS! The county can't afford to pay the over-time it would have to pay workers working on those days!
