A friend in Maryland told me about a firefighter who was against a tax to pay firefighters.

I understand that poor people in Alabama voted against the Repub. governor's plan for higher taxes for very rich people even though the money would have gone to the schools.

I think the Am dream that you too may someday be very rich protects the very rich from paying their fair share. Most Americans don't realize that Bush is altering the playing field so that it will be harder and harder for them to achieve the American dream.

I have always thought of Bush as the one who will kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Yes, the rich will get richer and richer for a couple of generations, but Bush is sowing the seeds for a very unstable government. A stable middle class is what has kept this country strong, and it is what has kept the rich safe.
