Do you remember what Clinton's luxury tax did to the boat building industry? How much should a person making 250k with 4 kids pay in taxes? Lets here a figure.....

I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about Bush. He did provide tax cuts that on the surface appeared to benefit everyone in the country, especially middle class. However, his tax cuts contributed to the current state of the economy. Now, I'm not saying that it is the sole cause, just that it's a good part of the reason why we're facing a $500 billion deficit going into 2009. But all that is a different conversation.
I fully agree with you on the lazy freeloaders of America. Personally, I'm sick and tired of paying to raise other people's kids. There's nothing like the person in line in front of me at the supermarket that had 4 young kids and has the taxpayers pay their grocery bill. Or when i worked as an EMT in Hartford and then Boston and people being on MassHealth because they're too lazy to get a job. I think welfare should be limited, no free ride for a life time or paying $200/month for an apartment where I pay $1200 in the same complex for the same apartment. I love my neighbor that has assisted rent, yet somehow drives a 2006 Lincoln. *Sorry, I'm ranting*
I was talking about is this, which is relative to the current Bush tax cuts (From the NYTimes 2 days ago):
