If you read this site, you know there's mounds of evidence that the economy is in good shape. With that in mind, it seems only natural that we extend the tax cuts, the very same tax cuts that helped fix our economy.
President Bush on Wednesday appealed for quick passage of $70 billion in tax cuts, saying lower taxes on dividends and profits from investment selloffs have helped revive the economy.But, of course, Democrats oppose a strong economy under a Republican presidency, and therefore oppose extending the tax cuts...In addition to extending those cuts by two years, the proposal would keep 15 million taxpayers from getting hit this year with a tax aimed at the wealthy.
The president said raising taxes would harm the economy, especially at a time of rising gasoline prices.
"A tax increase wold be disastrous for business, disastrous for families and disastrous for this economy," Bush told a Washington audience.
