1) My point had nothing to do with the rest of the sentence so including it was about as relevant if it had instead read "Greenspan went on to say he likes green bananas."
2) The sentiment in it was already provided by you in your misleading and half story initial post.

This was explained already, but hey, some people need to hear things a few times before it sinks in I guess.

Which one are you referring to - Gore's tax cut proposal in 2000 or Obama's current one?
Osama's.

Quote:
The vast majority of Bush's tax cuts went to small minority of wealthy Americans.
You mean an across the board tax cut provides a larger dollar cut to those who pay the most taxes? Gasp!

Quote:
You're right that there is no sheeple mentality in the Democratic party.
True, like abortion for example. Since the party is rife with pro lifers.

Quote:
Some believe that since we are running large deficits once again and we are on the brink of an unfavorable demographic shift, perhaps the tax cut should be more modest and we should go more with something like the 1993 Deficit Reduction act that Greenspan praised. Regardless, it would be irresponsible to put in place a politically convenient tax cut with no plan to finance it other than more borrowing. All but the far right seem to understand this.
Actually the far right understands it more than anyone, which is why the unhappiness with Bush fiscal policies. Not that any of the lefties running for office this go around will do any better.
