I think you may have misunderstood me...

time_management: "It's paying high taxes to support Bush's war and tax cuts for the rich that I have a problem with."

mynameishere: "Paying high taxes to support tax cuts for the rich?"

Hexstream: "If the rich pay less taxes then the non-rich probably pay more..."

I meant that if the rich get new tax cuts, thus paying less taxes, and the government wants the same amount of taxes overall, then the non-rich necessarily have to pay more to compensate the loss incurred.
