SENATE VOTES TO CUT TAXES TO PAY FOR WAR Less Taxes Means More Money For Military, Schools Homeland HQ (formerly Washington D.C.) - (GNS) - The U.S. Senate voted for the Bush tax cut in order to pay for the war yesterday. "This is a great day for America," said Senator Lipofuskin. "By cutting taxes, especially for the rich, we'll be able to pay for this war and for better schools." Senator Blimster echoed Lipofuskin. "This tax cut will allow us to achieve everything we've ever wanted. The era of permissiveness is over." According to tax cut supporter Senator Munchliver, it was important to repeat the idea over and over that the tax cut would pay for the war and for better education for everyone. "The more we say it, the more true it is," Munchliver said. Economist Murray Laffer of the Spitcurve Institute explained how the tax cut would work. "When you reduce the money people pay to the federal government for military defense and education, you give them more money. This improves the economy. Rich people will use the money to buy more real estate, caviar and luxury items. Middle class people will use it to buy more DVDs, and poor people will use it to buy more liquor and cigarettes. Suddenly, as if by natural law, the economy is stimulated and voila, we have an affordable strategic missile defense system and new schools for everyone," Laffer said. The Society for the Preservation of Rich People (SPRP) applauded the Senate. "It's good to see mere millionaires keeping us in mind," said SPRP Regent Thurston Third. Democrats were torn between behaving like Republicans and moderate Republicans. Eleanor Roosevelt could not be reached for comment. |
