It's the party of the rich. It's for the people who think greed is good. I know it takes compromise, and people need to take care of themselves. There is such a thing as exploitation, however. This is a cultural thing"

I really do think Bush means well. He really does believe in what he is doing. If people would just bend to his will everything would be hunky dory. Unfortunately things don't always have a happy ending. Giving the IRS a holiday is like giving the police a holiday. The destruction can't be undone.

For one thing, the rich own so much. If there was a national property tax the rich could pay the same percentage as everyone else. The rich monopolize most of the wealth therefore they get the burden of protecting it. I'm afraid you can't have your money and spend it too. Also I thought it was the liberals who had the corner on whining. Who's whining now?
