Bullshit tax breaks your $15,000 dollars worth of new taxes are going to be paying for through the $700 billion to "save our financial system"... while I dont necessarily begrudge any of these people tax breaks... well okay, in some cases I do. Seriously, rum producers?! And fisherman, its 20 years later, yea we screwed up the environment and all, but your breaks on that should have been years ago. But its not enough to pass a bill based on the fact that its "SUPPOSEDLY" RESCUING THE ECONOMY we need to pad it out with bullshit millions when it really needs to be all business.
