Taxes and Services...

Thomas Friedman tells it like it is:

Whenever Mr. Bush says, "It's not the government's money, it's your money," Democrats should point out that what he is really saying is, "It's not the government's services, it's your services" — and thanks to the Bush tax cuts, soon you'll be paying for many of them yourself.
Everyone wants taxes to be cut, but no one wants services to be cut, which is why Democrats have to reframe the debate — and show President Bush for what he really is: a man who is not putting money into your pocket, but who is removing government services and safety nets from your life.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

I'll just add that in the state of California everything from DMV fees to cigarette tax to camping fees are increasing at an alarming rate. This is because the States must now deal with the burden that has shifted over to them due to Bush's tax cuts.
