Your statements are internally contradictory
and frankly nonsensical.
High taxes punish hard work, IMHO.

Your comments about the "rich" or "idle rich"
are also the usual rhetoric ultra liberals
use as narcotics for the base of voters they're targeting.

If you were to confiscate every red cent in assets, etc.
of every "ultra rich" person in this country, how
many budget years would that cover?
Probably not even 1.

Let's say, it's as much as 2 or 3.

Then what?

While people like you would "feel better"
to see formerly "ultra rich" types in the street,
it changes nothing.

My overriding point is that if you want
improvement, increasing taxes is not the answer
regardless of income level. The lowest earners
pay little, if anything, anyway.

Taxes go to the government.
I think people at any level of income should
pay as little as possible and keep as much
of their hard earned cash as possible.

These politicians spend just to keep
their jobs. I really resent that.

Your funniest comment was that "Bush likes
to spend other people's money."

That, my dear, is the slogan of the
Democratic party...LOL

I'm critical of Bush in the spending
area, particularly the drug bill.
I think he should have opposed a drug
bill, since that had been Ted Kennedy's
thing for years. I shudder to think
what the Kennedy version would have been.

Bottom like: if the Dems have nothing better
to offer than a campaign of divisiveness and
hatred, which appears to be the case, it
has zero chance of success.
