Soo.. that said... what kinda tax cut does the poor need now??

The wise and conscientious way to do a tax cut is to:

PUT THE MONEY IN THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO WILL PUMP IT RIGHT BACK IN THE ECONOMY!
PUT THE TAX CUT IN THE HANDS OF LOWER INCOME CITIZENS!

Wealthy people, absorbed in greed, will just PUT THEIR TAX CUTS IN THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS; so as to make them richer and proud, while the economy suffers and the nation's deficit builds.

Now, poorer people WILL spend the tax cut; and the wealthier people can then get rich when the poorer people spend their money to buy rich people's goods and services, AS THEY WILL!

Gobama I agree with you 100%

I hate it how the Republicans only interests are the corporations. They'll destroy the country and the economy who will then blame the so-called socialist communist Democrats (who have been moving toward the center since Clinton) just to get elected and continue their corporatist agenda.

The only Republican I like is Ron Paul as he is anti-war and I like his social libertarian positions.

Giuliani will destroy the country, don't vote for him. Your better off with Alan Keyes

All I hear from any candidate is nothing but tax credits and programs for the married couple with children.

We, single people, get the shaft again.

The entire tax code is discriminatory againest single people and we pay for the excesses of the married.

Any new tax code should be the same for single or married persons. No additional tax credits/programs for married with/without children. Particularly, in terms of education. All the federal government does is continue to throw huge sums of money into Education with NO visible results. All politicians suggest nothing is to good for the children in terms of education, medical care, etc. but again, large sums of money are appropriated with minimal results. Its time we get a return of this money or cut it off. Again, no accountability, just like throwing money away after 911

Other than the usual GOP mantra – let the middle class handle it?!?!?!

Rudy's trailing and getting desperate!

But you know, the GOP-sheep will just eat it up, like they always do!!!

Cut the income tax to 9%.

Institute a national 11% sales tax.

It's the 9/11 tax plan!

1. Expand the war in Iraq
2. Borrow money from China
3. Invade Iran
4. Borrow more money from China, destroying the US dollar
5. Give out bazillions of worthless dollars in tax cuts woohooo!!
6. Sell Hawaii to China
7. Give out bazillions more of worthless dollars in expanded foreign aid
8. Sell Alaska to China
9. Sell American citizens to China to use as cheap domestic labor in China
10. Import more non-citizens to fill the void created by having sold American citizens to China

Anyway, Guillian will cut taxes. He did it for New York and he will do it for the country. He has my vote!!!!

Short of that, Rudy may as well stay in Florida, retire and start a 911 fan club, since 911 seems to be the single moment in history that he is fixated on. ANYONE who is capable of building a campaign on one iconic moment is doesn't have a campaign.

Rudy Guiliani, you are pathetic, you are in the same class as Hillary and Bill Clinton.

P.S. Rudy... please consider cutting the Spanish ads and using the savings to pay your paid staff for January.

1. Expand the war in Iraq
2. Borrow money from China
3. Invade Iran
4. Borrow more money from China, destroying the US dollar
5. Give out bazillions of worthless dollars in tax cuts woohooo!!
6. Sell Hawaii to China

He laughs at Ron Paul and then immitates him in his platform because Paul is robbing him of his place in the polls...oh and RP has tons of money bombs lined up....

Ron Paul will use the Bully Pulpit to push for the following;

1.) Reduce personal income taxes – or repeal the personal income tax altogether.
2.) Reduce the size and scope of the DOD's overseas presence lowering annual costs for taxpayors.
3.) Reducing subsidies to foreign governments.
4.) Reducing subsidies to US corporations
5.) Reducing the cost and size of the Federal Governmentand shifting costs to their rightful place – the State and Local governments.
6.) Repealing drug laws for what is and has alweays been readily available to anyone who wanted them, in s[pite of hundreds of billions spent on the so-called drug-war and the prison industrial complex.
7.) Getting our federal fiscal house in order.
8.) Addressing healthcare issues through congressional efforts.

Ron Paul is the Real McCoy – Giuliani is not ther right stuff...

Giuliani is a tool of the party....

Where are you going to get money to make up from the Trillions of Dollars in taxes? Oh wait, isn't the govenment in debt already....

Stupid.

Can some explain to me how running the federal government is easier than running New York City? I realize that New York is God's gift to the planet and all (intense sarcasm), but this statement is just ridiculous. Much like Rudy's plan to put the dollar on par with Zimbabwe's currency

All these people bashing Republicans for wanting to lower taxes.

Geesh you people are sheep.

Keep supporting the democrat establishment of expanding government programs and higher taxes, and see what that gets us.

And just WHAT is your point "Chris"? That the 90's weren't all that good afterall? That the republican baloney they are handing out is not all that much of a lie? You do YOUR homework, and then continue your list into the 2000's, and then tell us why the rate of increase has been soooo much more in the 2000's than in the 1990's. Are you trying to imply that because those numbers went up in the 90's that the budget deficits were not low, and even in the black? Why DID the debt continue to grow in those years (in the 90's) when the budget was in the black? If you have the answer, I'll be surprised. And certainly the wing-nuts don't....nor do they want to. They just want to pile on any mis-guided incomplete "facts" that people like you feed to them, so they can use it to justify the right-wing lies and dogma.

Here's what I learned over the past 15 years. A truly moderate rebalancing of the tax scheme (to override the Reagan give-away to the rich) in the early 90's as put in place by a short-lived combination of a democratic administration and congress, followed by strong fiscal leadership by a democratic administration who masterfully kept at hands-length a thoroughly distracted Repub-nut Congress led by our old friend newt, led to the strongest economic showing this country has ever enjoyed.

Now we can debate about whether or not the "rebalancing" of the early 90's was moderate. But as middle class person, I neither benefited significantly from Reagan's tax cut, nor did I suffer from Clinton's tax increase. And no matter how you want to label it, the effects of the Clinton tax increase to the rest of the economy speak for themselves....the economy BOOMED. Now these facts stand in stark contrast AGAINST the brainless wing-nut tax and economic dogma spewed out by their talking heads. They love to tell you that you are really not in pain, after they cut your leg off. And certain people actually fall for it, and they will fall for it again with the current brood of [R] monkey candidates.

Over the last 28 years repubs have consistently trashed our economy, and dems have consistently improved it. And there is a primary policy cause for this difference in results: dems have consistently dealt with and improved the deficit problem; the repubs have consistently exacerbated it.

And we're also $9 trillion in deficit and likely to go deeper to fund your "war on Islamic extremism" and expanding the military like you've proposed.

Ken in RI, I too thought you were right on.

He's just coming across as an elitist panderer.

Bush: Dictator-lite
Giuliani: Dictator. That sound you hear is the shredding of the constitution.

Who the hell said Rudy turned NYC around? Rudy told you, that's who. And you are stupid enough to believe him. God help us all if people like you get to vote. I'm increasingly infavor of IQ tests for voters.

As for how to get rid of the deficit, i remember from Econ 101 that tax cuts stimulate growth, which increases goverment revenue. And to everyone complaining about a Corporate Tax cut, don't corporations provide jobs to people so they can make money? If Corporations have more money to spend, they can provide jobs to Americans, instead of shipping them abroad. Also, Giuliani is proposing massive spending cuts, such as eliminating pork projects, cutting back on government programs, and not hiring as many government workers. Will it completely balance the budget? Probably not. However, its better to stimulate the economy with across the board tax cuts and increase revenue than to raise taxes, stop investment, and halt government revenue. If we do that, then there's no way we can pay off the deficit.

So, i'm for Giuliani on this one. This tax cut empowers middle income americans by putting more money in their pocket. Don't let CNN or anyone else mislead you to believe otherwise.

If someone EARNS money why should they share it with others? You work hard make more, isnt that the American way? Not you make more, you give the government a bigger cut.

Time for a flat tax or no income tax at all. Charge consumption and not earnins so people have incentives to work and save, not be lazy and spend.

Now, that is conservatism!

Cut spending on all entitlement programs....let people get by on their own labor and investments and quit letting the government be the caretaker of people.

For those that need help, that's what churches and civic organizations and families are for.

BTW, Rudy is a tool of the neo-con warlords.

Sorry...Romney gets my vote.
