Where were you motherfuckers when the CBO said that the tax cuts would cause a
Real American:
I won this debate.

What debate? I didn't know your misinformation about California should have even been considered to be part of the debate.

My bad man my last comment about the property tax not being a tax cut was a bit facetious. However I don't think you can cite the tax cuts made as proof that it causes more problems when the tax cuts were never given to the overwhelming majority of people so that is why I think your original point doesn't have substance to it. I am not saying I disagree with the premise of what you are saying, no the tax cuts haven't worked but they weren't meant to work for the average joe. If you can illustrate where the taxes gained popular support outside of republican fanaticism then I will gladly stand corrected but I have never seen it.
Also I have no idea how much it costs to house, educate, give state benefits and provide free health care to illegal immigrants, but it must surely factor into the huge costs?. I don't know the exact costs but also, how much is enough tax? surely as people are struggling, some in desperate dire straits, then more taxes only compounds the problem and whatever immediate benefit there is to tax revenue is offset by the fall in spending and indeed the fall in future taxes.
you gon always be my latin queen bitch:
wait virtuoso .....what are you sayin as far as the taxes....whos side are you on? lol

My main point of the the thread is that the CBO clearly predicted deficits after the Iraq War started and tax cuts were announced. It really doesn't matter to who it was for, point was that tax cuts were being made during the Iraq War. A war that is paid by tax payer's money. My beef is that there were hardly any voice of dissent when the CBO released their numbers. Now the CBO released the numbers about the health care law that was signed recently, those people are now up in arms about it. Where were they in 2003-2004? We needed that voice. Our voice doesn't fucking matter anyway, corporate democrats and republicans have hijacked our country.
