Greg at The Talent Show has a great post about why the latest tax cuts suck. He's got a link to a New Republic article that is worth the cover price, if you're not a current subscriber and want some ammo about why Bush has been so bad for the economy. Says Greg:
I can't improve on that.
Personally, I think a more sensible solution would be to give the tax cuts only to the poor and middle class families who need help the most.
Of course I can already hear the complaints now. "It's not fair. The rich pay the majority of taxes, it's only fair for them to get majority of the money back." While that may be true, this tax cut is not a gift, it's an attempt to jump-start a stagnant economy. It's not a matter of who deserves a refund more, it's a matter of who's more likely to spend the money. There are a variety of social programs that primarily benefit the poor that have been cut to make way for this tax cut. Asking the poor to sacrifice so the rich can have more money is what's really unfair.
I can't improve on that.
