But the Empire Strikes Back:

Government Unions to Taxpayers: "It's our money and we won't let you have what's ours":
___________________________________________________________

The Hill, a weekly Washington newspaper, reports that People for the American Way and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees are planning a yearlong lobbying effort against tax cuts:

AFSCME President Gerald McEntee said in a release, "The wealthy made out like gangbusters in the 1990s, but now the Bush gang wants to shower them with even more money and bust the budget for years to come. Average working Americans deserve much more bang for their buck."
"We made a mistake in '81 when we didn't focus on the Reagan tax cut," said [People for the American Way President Ralph] Neas. "It's 20 years later, and we're not going to make the same mistake again."

Neas said this, the Hill reports, "from St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands, where he was enjoying a belated Christmas vacation." He'd better hightail it back to Washington so he can fight for the "average working American."
