House of Paine

a nice contrast

as a suitable 
 st patrick's day
  four leaf clover


some giff 
usin the tres harpy
  name
 jackie corr

has a nice
 fiscal equation
 for us
over at counterpunch



==========================================


  its simple enough

our prez who claims

" i like to make decisions
and i make a lot of em"

made one 
along these lines

" i can have uncle
bail out the states

or i can cut 
     some 
profiteers  taxes "

he decided

and heres how our man corr 
sets it up nice and clear.....




--------------------------------------


"  During the two
       fiscal years
      2003 2004
 state governments
    made up
  $200 billion 
in budget shortages 
by raising taxes
 and fees
 or cutting services 

During those same 
       two years
  the bush  federal tax cuts 
delivered  
the same amount
  $ 200 billion  
in new tax brakes  
   to the wealthiest 1 percent
 of Americans 
(households making more then 
   $337,000 a year or more)"
