… and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes

A study being released today by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) details the impact of the Bush tax cuts that occurred in 2001. Result? Look for another terror alert coming soon.

The study found that the wealthiest 20 percent of our country saw their share of federal taxes drop from 64.4 percent of total tax payments in 2001 to 63.5 percent this year. The middle class saw its burden of the tax load INCREASE. Although Democrats have continually stated this to be the case, the administration has done a masterful job of denying the left’s claims.

It’ll clearly be much tougher for the administration to de-bunk the CBO, though. The CBO is headed by a former senior economist from the Bush White House, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, and is headed by a Republican Congressman. Expect the spinning from the White House to be mind-boggling. They’ll be bringing out the big guns on this one.

Headline Quote Movie of Origin: Dazed and Confused
Character: Ms. Ginny Stroud
Setting: It’s 1976. The bell rings for the final class on the last day of school. Students are jumping from their seats, rushing for the door. As a final piece of wisdom, hippie teacher Ms Ginny Stroud leaves her small town Texas students with words of wisdom that I’m sure impacted each of them profoundly… “Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes.”
The quote is relevant to this story how?: Minus the slave-owning part, the people that Ms. Ginny Stroud decries are those that have benefited the most from the administration’s tax cuts.
