"They" are always clamouring to get more of YOUR money, aren't they? It's all a great big conspiracy aimed directly at you.
The Bush tax cuts are about "not feeding the beast" - stimulating the economy is to taxes what WMD were to war in Iraq. Maybe kinda sorta they're there; we'll take whips of smoke and hints that it may work and proclaim it as hard fact.
That's just my public-school educated, non-gated-community, non Republican opinion.

And, I'll agree here with PD, except I will add that it is both Liberals and Conservatives that give "smoke and hints that it may work and proclaim it as hard fact."
The fact is, they are both pandering to a block of voters. Whether they truly believe in their individal economic theories is a moot point.
Their only REAL goal is to attain or keep power.
I certainly believe that
Government Forced redistribution of wealth is wrong, but so is overspending and waste.
Conervatives like Bush run on a platform of smaller central government and more local control and then do the exact opposite. Democrats never have seen a spending bill they didn't like.
Both the Democrats and the Conservatives are concerned with POWER and CONTROL first! Neither has your individual best interest in mind prior to this.
If anybody was really interested in a better economy, they would dismantle the Federal Gov't down to an appropriate size and eliminate the WASTE!
