Bush's domestic program, would have extended the maximum 15 percent tax rate on capital gains and dividends beyond 2008, when the lower rates are set to expire. Without congressional action, capital gains taxes would jump to 20 percent and dividends would be taxed as regular income." So duggerfrank-- Is this just a case of those Republicans being for the tax cuts, before they were against them? With solid majorities in both houses, what keeps Republicans from doing anything and everythng they want? They don't need a single Dem vote. You don't suppose any Repubs have a social conscience, do you? Or actually being concerned about not representing their own constituents (by 'constituents' I mean the voting public, not corporate sponsors). Why that's tantamount to being objectively pro-terrist. “The tax cuts, central to President George W.

Tell me how it is Republicans and New Gingrich shut down the government when it was Clinton who vetoed a spending bill. Looking forward to your logic contortions on that one.
