tax cuts

$56 Billion in Tax Cuts Passed

The House approved yesterday $56 billion in tax cuts that would keep alive the deep reductions in the tax rates on dividends and capital gains passed in 2003, but the measure is certain to be challenged by senators who have so far balked at the tax cuts for investors.
The bill passed largely along party lines, 234 to 197, after a rancorous partisan debate over whether the tax cuts would chiefly benefit the rich or sustain economic growth.

good thing we don't have anything to worry about like social programs or not letting kids starve to death. damn, we are so lucky. . .
