Taxes? What taxes?

With logic like this, why even have taxes?

President Bush claimed yesterday that rolling back tax cuts for those earning over $200,000 per year is unnecessary because "the really rich people figure out how to dodge taxes anyway."

That's idiotic. I wonder if he ever goes home at night and beats himself up over the stupid things he says. The past two stabs at supply-side have just resulted in immediate defecits, but only someone who has entirely no exposure to economics would assert that the current economy is the result of the current president. The prosperity Clinton inherited was built under the Reagan years.

That being said, taxes should be cut across the board, but most of all, for middle and low-income Americans. Why is anyone who makes less than $20K a year paying income tax? That's just insane. The income tax is a vile creation which our founding fathers would have abhorred.
