I watched a shocking PBS program on the financial state of the USA this afternoon. From all the pundits and analysts, this past year is America's worst year financially on the record (that means ever and includes the Depression, and the Civil War). The Republicans in their infinite wisdom, lead by the illustrious idiot George W. Bush, is enacting $50 billion in spending cuts (don't even get me started here because if they just got their meddling asses out of Iraq) while giving $95 billion in tax cuts. And here's how those tax cuts break down (hope you're sitting down):
If your income is under $75,000 your tax break will be $0.00
If your income is between $100,000-$200,000 your tax break is $25
If your income is in excess of $1,000,000 your tax break is $19,000
Someone please tell me how the USA isn't going straight to hell in the fast lane.
