The polls (which you so love to quote) plainly show that America is MORE fed up with the democratic congress than they ever were with us silly old republicans.

We will see in November 2008. You might get a BIG Surprise!!!!!!

When my income reaches the level of the top 10% I will be happy to pay more. All the wealthy want is MORE MORE MORE. It is PURE GREED. They do NOT need the added money and since they are receiving 70% of the total Tax cuts Bush got passed by the GOP controlled Congress they can give it up and return to the good times the wealthy had during the 1990's with the higher tax rates!

who are you to decide what they do or do not need

as i said mr dictator

YOU'RE the PUTZ, you ignorant old fool! It "may be" GW's plan, but the GOP isn't buying into it. But the DEMOCRATS are trying to ramrod it through congress.

ARE YOU ON PLANET EARTH?

Many Republican Senators supported this bill. Bush is hailing it as a " BiPartisan" solution. Everytime you post something you sho\w how much of a idiot you are!!!!!!

Bush Praises Bipartisan Immigration Deal
May 19, 2007 9:10 AM EDT
CRAWFORD, Texas - Thankful for a breakthrough, President Bush on Saturday praised senators of both parties for delivering a potential deal to overhaul U.S. immigration policy.

The compromise aims to grant legal status to millions of people in the country unlawfully, stiffen border security and create a program for temporary workers. It also would reshape requirements for new immigrants and take measures to prevent illegal workers from getting jobs.

"I realize that many hold strong convictions on this issue, and reaching an agreement was not easy," Bush said in his weekly radio address.

"I appreciate the effort of senators who came together to craft this important legislation," he said. "This bill brings us closer to an immigration system that enforces our laws and upholds the great American tradition of welcoming those who share our values and our love of freedom."

A victory for Bush is far from assured. The proposal must get through the Senate, where debate begins Monday, and the prospects of such a plan are also uncertain in the House.

An unlikely alliance of liberal and conservative lawmakers championed the proposal, which was announced Thursday after months of private talks among senators and the White House.

The president used his radio address to tout the deal and build momentum for it, without expressly lobbying lawmakers to vote for it. For Bush, approval of a comprehensive plan to improve immigration - a thorny, complex matter - would be a signature second-term achievement.

The package faces opposition from both sides. Conservatives say it is too lenient on those who have broken the law; liberals warn it would be unworkable and unfair to migrant families.

Yet Bush said the deal has "all the elements required for comprehensive immigration reform."

The proposal orders that border improvements and a worker identification program must come first, as a trigger to other changes.

Among the key points, illegal immigrants could come forward and seek a "Z visa" and - after paying fees and a fine - ultimately get on track for permanent residency. That could take several years. Heads of households would have to return to their home countries first.

Guest workers would have to return to their home country after periods of two years. They could renew their visas twice, but would be required to leave for a year in between each time.

The deal also proposes a fundamental reordering of immigration priorities, moving the system from one based on family to one primarily designed to meet the needs of U.S. employers.

Bush said the deal would end "chain migration" by limiting the relatives who can automatically receive green cards to spouses and minor children.

The point, he said, is to build a system for "immigrants who have the skills, education and English proficiency that will help America compete in a global economy."

Bush spoke from his ranch, where he and first lady Laura Bush are spending the weekend.

Not according to the polls which you so LOVE to quote. IMO, it'll be YOU who are surprised.

ARE YOU ON PLANET EARTH?

Are you? The democrats are trying to ramrod this bill through before anyone really gets a chance to read it. I didn't say this was not GW's bill. But the "conservatives" in congress are "extremely" AGAINST this bill.

Who are you to decide what they do or do not need?

As I said Mr. Dictator

It has NOTHING to do with what I say. To make an argument that people with incomes in the area of the top 10% NEED the added money from the Bush tax cuts is absurd and shows that anyone making such an argument does not understand the meaning of the word NEED. They may WANT the added money but NEED the money-- no way! People that can not pay their bills NEED. People making the income of Bush and Cheney do not need the tax cuts!

I didn't say this was not GW's bill. But the "conservatives" in congress are "extremely" AGAINST this bill. HOW do you explain the so called Conservative senators that support this bill?

Like McCain, Kyle, McConnell etc. Bush called the bill a “Bipartisan" bill. Some GOP senators are opposed but many appear to support the bill. We will see who votes for the bill.

i am not makng an argument about what people do or do not NEED

my question oh dictator is HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DO OR DO NOT NEED have you walked in their shoes i haven't

judge not lest you be judge

does that sound like something you have heard PROBABLE NOT.

granted 99.9% of them probable do not need the extra money but how do we decide who does or does not


for instance bill gates(bill clintons last bad guy) started with nothing and is now the richest man on the planet. when he dies he leaves 300 million to each of his kids(i think three)and everything else goes to charity. now tell me what would the democrats do with this money, no never mind i will tell you they would build an artisan well in the middle of arizona so the illegals can cross our border without dieing of thrist and vote for them

“granted 99.9% of them probable do not need the extra money but how do we decide who does or does not.”

If as you say 99.9 % do not NEED the tax cuts, then we simply go back to the tax rates prior to 2001 for the top 10% and if 1/10 of 1 % has a little problem that is better then creating future problems for 100% of the population be continuing to ignore the national debt and the interest we must pay on that debt.

I am not proposing to use the added tax revenue for NEW SPENDING, but to help pay for what we are already spending and NOT paying for that is ending up as a future obligation that must be paid.


There is NOTHING wrong with the Estate Tax. Less then 1% ever pay that tax and the provisions allow for exemptions before ANY tax is required and then 50% of the amount ABOVE the exemption passes to the next generation. To end that tax would cut another 40Billion per year from the Federal revenue and would be added to the debt.
