Bush: More tax breaks. More!

Well, Bush will ask for more tax cuts next week mascarading as a "stimulus package". The spin alrady is, "more tax breaks for businesses and individuals". It'll be interesting to see how much "individuals" will be getting. As of now, Bush isn't talking details.

The following paragraph is interesting, because I smell Rove's grubby little fingers all over it:

Administration officials also want to accelerate cuts in income tax rates to 2003 from 2004, though the nation's top earners may be left out because some of Bush's political advisers are worried about Democratic accusations that he is catering to the rich.
Talk about a load of shit. The whole package will be a bonanza for Bush's monied friends. Anyone want to bet me otherwise? But they might have one measly provision targeting the middle class, and Rove will spin like crazy: "top earners are being left out."
