Original: The Bush Tax: How Much Is It Costing You?

Sun, 29 Jan 2006 19:58:33 -0600

"Rather than take responsibility for our common future, Bush has shifted costs to states and communities, who then pass them on to you. Across the country, people are seeing their property taxes skyrocket. State college tuition at 4-year schools has increased this year by an average of $579 nationwide. Half a million children have been deprived of health coverage. States and local government have cut vital services, and we're all having to pay more for less. That's the Bush Tax.

Bush is largely to blame for the fiscal crisis that has forced states and communities to raise taxes and slash services. According to the non-partisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), "A conservative estimate suggests that federal policies are costing states and localities about $185 billion over the four-year course of the state fiscal crisis." Bush has shifted health costs to states and forced states to pay for unfunded mandates for homeland security, election reform, and No Child Left Behind. As a result, states and communities have had no choice but to raise taxes and cut services. That's the Bush Tax. (For details, see the link below to the CBPP report.)"

Story of BushTax.com

With this site our intention is to restore and build upon the old bushtax.com.

The old bushtax.com was full of interesting material on the effects of President Bush's tax cuts at the time they were first proposed and set into law. The site was created by the DEAN FOR AMERICA 2004 organization. As the time passed and 2006 set in, the site was left to disappear from the Internet scene.

Then President Bush called to make the tax cuts permanent. And we felt that it would be a pity to lose such a resource that bushtax.com had become.

Letter to Gov. Dean to restore Bushtax.com

Jan. 21, 2006

Dear Gov. Dean,

We're writing to you to request permission to restore the site used in
your 2004 election campaign, BushTax.com. It was paid for and maintained by DEAN FOR AMERICA.

We recently became the new owner's of the domain as we didn't want such a great resource to go to waste.

The site was full of material that showed how the Bush tax cut made Americans take on billions more in national debt, reduce the Social Security Trust Funds and shift associated costs to states and communities, who then passed them on to average Americans.
Appropriately, 'The Bush Tax: How Much Is It Costing You?' was the theme of the BushTax.com site.

Did the tax cuts so far have any effect on your finances?
