WASHINGTON, DC—Amid growing anti-war protests (click here) and polls indicating eroding public support for an invasion of Iraq, President Bush is offering U.S. taxpayers a rebate in the amount of $300 if we go to war....

No joke, just fact.

"President Bush's new, $674 billion tax cut plan would boost the size of his tax cut in 2001 by one half over a decade, sending our country deeper into debt and endangering important public programs, while doing little to stimulate the economy. A computer analysis of the effects of Bush's new tax cuts shows:
- ...three quarters of Bush's tax cuts this year will go to to best-off 10 percent of all taxpayers.
- The typical taxpayers will get a tax cut of $289 this year.
-...in contrast, taxpayers with income over $1,000,000 would get a tax cut of over $30,000 each.
- By the end of the decade, more than half the President's proposed new tax reductions would go to the top one percent....
We just don't want this form of draconian government back in DC. We just don't.
We don't belong in Iraq. We never did.
We don't need a draconian government. We never did.
Don't get caught up in the hype, it is against your best interest.
