How's this for a budget increase?

You had better think long and hard about the next president. Some of you say you hate Bush, well that is just disgusting. You can disagree with policy and even dislike his tactics, but when you throw the word hate into the mix all you are doing is labeling yourself as a person who cannot stand on the issues and has to resort to the politics of hate. That word cheapens and even negates many an argument, for the opposition sees only the vitriolic face you put forward. So go ahead and dissent, go ahead and impugn, but do yourself a favor and do it in a manner that calls for respect not disdain, or even worse, total dismissal of a kook fringe.

The Democrats' $2.9 Trillion Budget Fails To Extend All The 2001 And 2003 Tax Cuts. "Congressional Democrats ... announced agreement on a $2.9 trillion budget blueprint for 2008, promising a budget surplus in five years but only by allowing some of President Bush's tax cuts to expire." (Andrew Taylor, "Democrats Agree On $2.9 Trillion Budget," The Associated Press, 5/16/07)
Senator Judd Gregg, Ranking Member On The Budget Committee, Noted The Budget Would Result In "The Largest Tax Increase In U.S. History." "The top Republican on the Senate committee, Sen. Judd Gregg ... said the Democratic plan would produce 'the largest tax increase in U.S. history...'" (Andrew Taylor, "Democrats Agree On $2.9 Trillion Budget," The Associated Press, 5/16/07)
Other proposals by people who say they are watching out for you. Yeah they are watching out for how they can get their hands in your pockets once again.
If nothing else remember this; "the more control the government has, the less control you the citizen has.
If you think (Unjustifiably so I might add) that anyone has lost some perceived civil right with the "Patriot Act)just wait until you let the socialism (Billery)crowd take over, as the man said, "you ain't seen nothing yet."
Don't forget the Patriot Act is for people communicating with known terrorist people or factions, Joe average American. Get with it people, this is serious, quit demagoging around and use some common sense.
Here are just a few disturbing things to ponder;
·Fifty cents a gallon gas tax to pay for entitlement programs and roads and bridges.
·Propose as high as $10.00 per cigar tax to fund Medicaid.
·Sunset the tax rebates.
·Socialize medicine (since when did the government ever run any program efficiently?)
·Increase the inheritance tax and lower the exemption qualification.
·Double the capital gains tax from 15 to 30 %.
·Increase tobacco tax by 60 cents to fund, God only knows what.
·Allow federal scholarships for illegal aliens.
·What amounts to amnesty for 12 to 15 million aliens and include the family reunification amendment to bring the total to 35 to 40 million illegals
·Take profits over a certain amount ( a figure not yet settled upon) away from big companies and redistribute it for socialized entitlement programs. If you think that companies are doing business off shore and overseas, just wait for this little beauty to get passed. They will be
leaving in droves.
·Censorship, by way of fairness doctrine.
·Censure private citizens, (i.e., Rush Limbaugh)
