Another crackpot letter to the editor

Editor: 


You don't hear too much about it in the news but George Bush and the Republicans will raise taxes on the people who can least afford it next year.  When they were in power they passed a law to raise income taxes next year so it would happen regardless of whether they were in power.  And in typical Republican fashion the people at the bottom get hurt more than the people at the top.  Currently,  people at the bottom of the income tax rates pay a 10% tax rate but next year it goes to 15% or a whopping 50% increase. When people are barely getting by in the first place a 50% increase in taxes hurts.  Contrast this with the rich people who always get the best treatment from Bush and Company having their tax rate next year go from 35% to 39.6% or only up about 13%. Though the rich may whine about their tax increases they can afford them much easier than the people on the bottom end of the income scale.
