Bush Tax Cuts

In this debate on MSNBC, continuation of the Bush Tax Cuts is argued. In 2001 and 2003, President Bush made major changes to America's taxation, giving large tax breaks to the super rich in the country. While the tax cuts helped most tax payers in the country and led to a brief period of prominence in America, now the tax rates are low enough for the super wealthy that they can pay nearly nothing. I find this incredibly unjust. Those who are more wealthy should give more. We are just coming out of a recession and we need to, like one of the debaters said, look to those who can most afford to pay. We can no longer rely on the middle-class to pay our way out of debt. Instead, we need to eliminate the Bush Tax Cuts for the wealthy and level the playing field.
