Bush Wants to eliminate your overtime pay!
More than 8 million workers could become ineligible for overtime pay after working more than 40 hours a week under changes proposed by President George W. Bush's administration. In fact, employees who make as little as $22,100 annually could be reclassified as professional, administrative or executive employees exempt from federal overtime rules. Emergency medical technicians, cooks, social workers and police officers are among the 8 million workers who could be reclassified and lose overtime pay.
How Bush feels about you...
Very Richest Share of Income Grew Even Bigger,
Data Show
David Cay Johnston - The New York Times
Had President Bush latest tax cuts been in effect in 2000, the average tax bill for the top 400 would have been about $30.4 million a savings of $8.3 million, or more than a fifth, according to an analysis of the I.R.S. data by The New York Times. That would have resulted in an average tax rate of 17.5 percent.
"Regardless of which party these 400 are in, these are the guys Bush wants to help, even though they have so much money they don't know what to do with it," [Robert S. McIntyre] said. "How Bush feels about the half of the population that doesn't have much money is he got them a tax cut worth an average of $19 each."
Liberate or Eliminate?
We all know that George W. claims to be 'liberating' Iraq. But, it looks like Iraqi civilians will be finding their liberty in heaven. Especially now that Bush initiated the policy of "Kill the looter".
What does Bush mean when he says he wants to 'liberate' Iraq. Judging by the number of civilians he has killed, it looks like 'liberate' is another word for 'put to death'.

US Military Count

So, How is Bush Doing?
Under Bush, the economy has lost more than 3 million payroll jobs while the stock market is down trillions of dollars in paper wealth. The federal government, which had a $237 billion surplus in 2000, now faces a $455 billion deficit for this fiscal year (2003). The Bush deficit will explode to $2.75 trillion over the next ten years!
Who will Profit from Bush's tax cut?
Here is a list of people that are very likely to pay a lot less taxes. Because the tax break is on dividends, the people who will benefit the most are not the working class. Instead, they are the people rich enough to make money through investments - not salaries. Its interesting to see who the richest people in the world are. So, I included that list too.
Those Likely to Profit
1. George Walker Bush
2. Warren Buffett
3. William Gates III
4. Paul Allen
5. Lawrence Ellison
6. Alice Walton
7. Helen Walton
8. Jim Walton
9. John Walton
10. Any US Billionaire
