re: Math
By definition, across-the-board tax cuts are going to return the most money to those who pay the most taxes. That's non-imaginary math. Tax money given to people who pay no taxes at all is welfare.
The Bush tax cut amounts to 0.008 of the $44 trillion Medicare/Social Security debt load. Not sure cancelling the tax cut is going to make much of a dent.
According to the Robin Hood Principle, the wealthy have no right to their own money, and if that's where you're coming from, I can't really argue with you. Again, a world-view issue.
BTW, I assume that when Bush brings up entitlement reform again, you will be firmly on his side. Right?
