I suppose I'm more inclined to the liberal thought of giving most of the tax cuts to those that need it the most.

Also, in order for a tax cut to work, it requires a cut in spending, not a raise.   In general, if we could cut a large portion of the government out and streamline the rest, I'd be completely in favor of a huge across-the-board tax decrease.

Those who need a "tax cut" most don't pay any taxes.  What you're talking about is income redistribution, not a tax cut.

Everyone who has a legal job in this country pays taxes.  Bush could have reduced regressive taxes (such as the payroll tax) and helped out everyone, but instead chose to pass tax cuts that mostly only helped the extremely wealthy.

Bush's tax cuts are the primary reason why I think he is a terrible president.  In my mind, they are the worst pieces of legislation passed in my lifetime.

Typicial Democratic nonsense.  I am going to assume that you are simply buying the party line here.  The main point of the Bush tax plan is that he lowered rates across the board.  He replaced the tax rates of 15, 28, 31, 36, and 39.6 percent with a simplified rate structure of 10, 15, 25, and 33 percent.

So that means that someone in the lowest tax bracket who was paying 15 percent before the Bush tax cuts is now paying 10 percent.  How does that only help the wealthy?
