Why would anybody, except the politicians, want to roll back the Bush tax cuts?

And to make up for the lower fed taxes, whats happened at the state and local level. Why have all fees risen so drastically. My property taxes have been doubled, and even with the local taxes doubled, why do schools now need to charge fees for taking the bus.
Interesting looking at the doc on that site. Had you chosen a single income of 32,600,
it was taxed at 28% in 99 =9128, 25% now=8150.
You can play with numbers however you want to get the result you want. Unless you look at ALL the taxes you are paying State,fed,sales,gas,property taxes etc and compare the dollar amount for each year to what you earned that year, you can't really see anything meaningful.
