More giveaways for billionares

Yesterday I posted a comparison of the tax breaks to the wealthy and cuts to social services. Well, here are some more.

Bush designed a budget that offers $32.7 billion in tax cuts to the Wal-Mart family alone, while cutting $28 billion from Medicaid.

Cox family (of Cox cable TV) receives $9.7 billion tax break while education would get $1.5 billion in cuts

...the family of former Exxon/Mobil CEO Lee Raymond, who received a $400 million retirement package, would receive about $164 million in tax breaks.

Compare that to the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which Bush proposes be completely eliminated, at a savings of $108 million over ten years.
