<< Bush's policy is increasing the divide between rich and poor. >>


I am sure that &quot;most&quot; of the rich people would think that Clinton did this. My thinking is based on the fact that a lot of these new rich people made their bank during the Clinton era. Or, since &quot;most&quot; rich people tend to be republican, are they thinking that the divide was created by the republican controlled congress? So regardless, the democrats can say it is not their fault the divide has grown.
Oh yeah, btw, haven't a lot of the rich people been losing a lot of money in the market since Clinton was on his way out and Bush took over. I know my assets have went down?
I know Grandma eating dog food, or whatever it was, is just getting killed over this market.

I would be curious to what bush policy caused since. The tax cut has barely even started...

What Rajeev is saying is just a reflection of a nationwide poll. It is not his opinion, just a FYI comment. What you make of it is your business.

Whoever to blame for the economy downturn is not important. What is important is how the current leader, Bush, will correct the matter. So far...not so good. I mean all those interest rate cuts are clogged according to a report today. It is not trickling through to exports, etc.

The tax plan also has problems as well. It was originally mostly geared to the rich...

yep, it sucks.


Last week I found that the company where I worked as coop went bankrupt. I felt bad since they were quite cool. Even the president knew me and was friendly

Now I know why I can't find a job since my old company went out of business, too many damn other people .

What Alienwho said.

I actually got excited today because I may have an interview soon for a job that pays HALF of what I was making last year!

rado,

The tax plan removed about 6 million works off the pay tax list. Tax cuts are gears toward because they carry the bulk of tax burdon. 25% of the population pays more than 75% of the taxes. You pay more in, you get more back. It is really that simple

Many companies do not disclose how many workers they have or how many they are going to layoff....that is all they say. A percentage.....

once again, as i said... a bit misleading....
