but what makes "corparate" synonymous with Republicans?

The main pork is corporate pork going to Bush industries. Drugs/Pharma, big farming, oil/coal (energy bill) and of course our friend Halliburton. This is the big chunk of the 500 billion Bush has spent. Nothing for your average citizen or student, nothing for the long term unemployed who has been devastated under BushCo. ALL CORPORATE pork.

Now look at the tax cuts, who got them. Dividend tax cut - those that invest in smokestack industries (BushCo), disproportionate skew towards high wage earners.

Take this together and one thing is clear, the *little guy* got a big goose egg from the Bush looting. Bush spent the money on big corps and high earners, now they should have to pay back to compensate for all the pork. I sure as heck am not interesting in paying for this BushCo bonanza.
