So, the Bush Tax Rebate is going to happen. It will be another failure in a history of failures for the biggest failure who has ever failed. My question is this: What should we, as Democrats, do with this money?
My suggestion is this. If you can, in anyway, afford to donate this money to a progressive Democratic candidate I would urge you to do so. If you can't, than I hope you will use it to pay down debt or do something otherwise useful with it. But if this is money that you and your family can spare it would be a wonderful move to donate it to the progressive candidate of your choice. It would also be wonderful if one of Bush's failed policy maneuvers helped to fund Democratic success stories all over the country.
According to CNN this package is going to cost approximately 175 billion dollars, and much of it is going to go towards these rebate checks. Imagine how much of an impact we could have on congressional, state legislative, and even state-wide races if we could get not only previous democratic donors, but well meaning progressive democrats throughout the nation to donate this money to a candidate.
It could send millions of dollars to progressive candidates and help fund victories in competitive districts throughout the nation. The best part of it all would be that we would be using money from a failed Bush policy to help insure that there won't be anymore such errors in the future.
Anyway, that is my two cents on how we should each spend this $600.00. Let me know what you think, please!
