After listening to Repub after Repub defending the Bush tax cuts, I'm frustrated and angry. Why hasn't someone laid it out in simple terms, stating the reasons the tax cuts were given:

Because the Wealthy need more money to buy more "luxury" high ticket items that would stimulate the economy.

Because the Wealthy were the ones who were creating jobs for us non-wealthy peons.

Neither of those have happened.
They didn't hold up their end of the bargain.
They lost their chance.
Continuing them just makes us stupid.
