Sides split on Bush tax cut
Seacoast residents question a 350 billion 10 year Bush tax package approved Thursday. President Bush calls it bold tax relief with 20 billion in state aid. Critics cite CBPP findings that 74 million households gain 100 or less while top earners save about 93500 on average. Republican Ruth Griffin defends the plan saying middle income Americans benefit most.
