Republican Moral dilemma- Rollback the Tax cuts or take away from less fortunate?


Link
The Republican party is at a crossroads. Americans worse fears that Republicans don't care about the poor are about to become a reality. The real question is how the party can claim the moral high ground on issues like Abortion, same sex marriages and tax cuts for the wealthiest, and Terry Shiavo They have lost the moral high ground! We are in times of significant spending on the war in Iraq, no- bid contracts to companies like Halliburton in Iraq (and now in Louisiana), and run away Pork barrel spending, as witnessed in the Transportation Bill passed only a month ago. It is an indefensible position and is bankrupting the America we knew and loved. This President has not vetoed any Bill before him in all his years as President. Not since President Garfield in the 1800's has a President not exercised restraint of Congress by the veto. But this Republican party has no excuses as it controls all branches of Government and some would say now the Supreme Court. I don't care what your political party but I can tell you this, I am very angry and I'll bet the American public is too. With Delay facing money laundering charges, investigations into Sen. Frist on selling his heathcare stock just before the company stock dropped significantly, I can tell you that the balance of power will shift significantly in the 2006 election in favor of the Democrats and this will continue to 2008. Why, you ask? Because the incompetence of this Administration is not going away anytime soon. From Michael Brown, former head of FEMA, to Harriet Miers nomination to Supreme Court vacancy, inflation on the rise due to increases in gasoline and home heating oil as well as gas, people vote their conscience and their pocketbook.

Bankruptcy filings are up significantly because the new laws going into effect soon, will not allow people to write off their debt. So individuals will have to schedule paying back their debt. It's too bad the same isn't true for all these corporate crooks like Kozlowski and Stewart and Ken Lay. They don't have to pay back most of what they screwed their investors from and their employees lost jobs and their pension funds too. So I ask you, have you forgotten these facts? I doubt it and I'll bet it makes you mad too? When is that election next? Oh yes, in one short year to change the Senate and Congress and then 2 more after that to get rid of this incompetence! I can't wait. And beware both Republicans and Democrats alike. If you continue this free tax ride for the weathiest when our country is going broke, you all will face the rath of voters like me. If you think you are getting away with your pork additions to the Transportation bill, think again. We will hound you for this vote for a long time to come.
