1st lie - "Tax cuts for the rich have been good for all Americans, especially the poor." Note to O'Reilly: Poverty has increased EVERY YEAR under Bush. Complete BS from O'Reilly.

2nd lie - "Tax revenues are climing twice as fast as predicted and the deficit is being sharply cut."

See this post:
http://www.debatepolitics.com/348530-post33.html (Is Tuesdays good news on the deficit proof that the Bush tax cuts are working?)

3rd lie: O'Reilly "Want more proof? President Clinton, you just saw him, he was a tax the rich guy,in the middle of his 2 terms, 1995, the government took in 1 1/2 trillion dollars in tax receipts... (This year) the Feds took in 2.1 trillion, 40% more than under Clinton."

What O'Reilly fails to mention is that these numbers aren't adjusted FOR INFLATION (and a 6% increase in population - more people, more taxes) If you adjust O'Reilly's numbers for inflation the numbers are a wash. (1.921 trillion) And Clinton's numbers in his last year were 2.3 trillion, and have gone down under Bush. So, it's very clear that when you cut taxes you don't increase revenues, the supply siders would have you think otherwise because they think you are too stupid to do the math.

One Question: HOW CAN THIS BE IF THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS THE LOWEST ITS EVER BEEN? But then again your just another Bush hating fool. . .maybe one day you will see the light

Oh and by the way if you ever took economics, theres 2 ways to raise the economy, Cut Taxes or Print more money, read into that dum dum

Its cut taxes or spend money, not print money. Thats how you bandaid fix a problem, and cause inflation in result.

So media bias has hit youtube. Big oil put up a fake spoof of Al Gore.

Busted again.

Al Gore YouTube Spoof Not So Amateurish
Republican PR Firm Said to Be Behind 'Inconvenient Truth' Spoof
By JAKE TAPPER and MAX CULHANE
Aug. 4, 2006 — - A tiny little movie making fun of Al Gore, supposedly made by an amateur filmmaker, recently appeared on the popular Web site YouTube.com.

At first blush, the spoof seemed like a scrappy little homemade film poking fun at Gore and his anti-global warming crusade.

In the movie, Gore is seen boring an army of penguins with his lecture and blaming global warming for everything, including Lindsay Lohan's thinness.

But when the Wall Street Journal tried to find the guy who posted the film "Al Gore's Penguin Army" -- listed on YouTube as a 29-year-old -- they found the movie didn't come from an amateur working out of his basement.

The film actually came from a slick Republican public relations firm called DCI, which just happens to have oil giant Exxon as a client.

Exxon denies knowing anything about the film, and DCI says, "We do not disclose the names of our clients, nor do we discuss the work we do on behalf of our clients."
