Tax Cuts Are Unpatriotic

Go read the whole of this great bit of satire from blogcritics:

In a selfless act - putting his money where his mouth has been for some time - George Bush has announced that he will donate the thousands of dollars that his tax cuts have put into his own pocket towards better supplies of equipment to troops in Iraq. When President Bush learned that insufficient resources were available to properly supply the troops on the front lines of the war for democracy ("the Pentagon announced last week that it missed its self-imposed deadline of April 1st for fielding adequate numbers of uparmored Humvees to protect all U.S. troops"), he realized that tax cuts during war time were the goals of a party that favored money over freedom and did NOT share the values of the average American.

I've said it before too. Accepting tax cuts or using legal tax-avoidance schemes while there is a war on is unpatriotic. This position should logically follow from rightwing positions on the war and supporting the troops too, but it doesn't get a look in. Funny that, eh?
