Tax Cuts are Welfare?

You must be joking! The Wall Street crumb bums and fat cats, to whom tax cuts for the ultra-rich are an item of religious devotion, have decided that when a Democrat cuts taxes it is really just a welfare program in disguise! So much for starving the beast and encouraging personal responsibility, eh?

For the Wall Street Journal to make this argument is just stunningly audacious. It's like they believe all money truly belongs to them - it's just temporarily in other people's pockets until they can swindle it out of them. Why else would they oppose tax cuts that aren't ruthlessly biased towards the top 1%? Remember, 52% of Bush's tax cuts went to the top 1%.

And this comes after decades of pleading with the Democrats to support tax cuts so that the country-club crowd could support them. Outrageous!
