Oklahoma | The Bush Tax

Interesting. I have been arguing for sometime that cutting federal taxes has unintended consequences such that many in the working class and middle class actually lose ground even if they got the tax cut check in the mail. Property taxes go up, tuition rises, fees go up--most of those regressive in nature.

I keep wondering if many Repubs will discover that this president doesn't share their values. If you are a fiscal conservative, this isn't your president. If you think that morality is more than just quoting scripture, this isn't your president. If you think that protecting life includes children overseas and those in poverty here at home, this isn't your president. Certainly if you think that government, while limited, can be used to better people's lives, this isn't your president.
