tax cuts amd the average person

I heard on TV a multibillion dollar owner except for the Republicans and President Bush would have paid 500 million dollar from his estate. Yet the Republican Senator keep saying that the average worker ought have his wages cut and of course along with this is the local taxes go up If the worker is going get less pay then how can the worker pay increased taxes whether It is the Federal Government to pay for the wars that they putting us in and of course local taxes to keep the police dept, the Fire Department, and all the other essentials to keep our local and state Government going. In the State of Colorado due to the Tax structure they are starting to lay off Policeman, Firemen, etc. If we do not tax the rich there is not any hope for our government whether local, state or Federal. The republicans want to get rid of Medicare, Social Security, etc so the rich can get richer. Do the American people want another Black period like the period from 400 CE when they were slaves to the church and to government. Remember when the Republican talk Tax Breaks it is for the ultra rich and more taxes an d lower wages for the working poor. Oh well what can I do?
