Sunday, November 27, 2005 Kucinich:Wealthy tax cuts fall on poor/mid class I like Dennis Kucinich for many reasons, but his absolute gift for cutting thru the GOP crap and calling a spade a spade is the quality I most admire about him. OneWorldU.S.Net: A budget-cutting bill that passed the House of Reps last wk has left countless groups (esp those advocating on behalf of the poor and the environment) devastated by what they say is irresponsible favoritism of rich individuals and corporations. Congressman Kucinich said: "If a budget is a statement of priorities for a nation, this budget bill speaks volumes about the misplaced priorities of this Congress. This budget chooses war over education, tax cuts over health care, special interests over need of the nation and rich over poor. This budget bill attempts to balance the deficits caused by the war in Iraq and the tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans squarely on the backs of poor and working class Americans." |
