Kerry is a multimillionaire capitalist. What in the world makes anyone think he's not conservative with money? Well, for one thing he hasn't earned it. He has however spent $700,000 of his wife's dead husband's money on a 42 foot speedboat, though.

Everyone's taxes have not been cut. There has already been a 1% tax burden shift from the ultrawealthy to the middle class. That's not in question. Everyone's federal income taxes were cut.

Taxes come in many forms:
- increased state and local taxes and fees
Wrong to hold the President to blame for state and local finances.

- decreased services
- increased expenses on things like energy
- interest payments on record consumer debt (record bankruptcies two years running now)These aren't taxes.

Re. your ranting about the Medicare bill, you aren't addressing what the Democratic approved version of a medicare prescription bill would be like. I think its pretty likely it would be even more expensive.

Bush isn't at all tough on immigration. True enough. But would Kerry be tougher? The Democratic party has a history of being even more lenient on illegal immigrants. In fact, I think most Democrat politicians wouldn't even say illegal, the PC word is undocumented.

I want oil to scare the bejesus out of people and go to $5/gallon or to whatever point it gets idiots out of single-passenger SUVs, commuter Humvees and other ridiculous vehicles. As a nation, we could stand to walk more anyway. OK, I hope you are putting your convictions into action in your own life.

If we don't do something now, we'll be fighting for what's left of oil in the future. The rest of the world is just as hungry for oil as we are so we're in for a fight if we don't reduce dependence on oil. Again, if China elevates its population to the level of Mexico, they will eat as much oil all by themselves as the entire world does today.
I think this is all going to happen sort of like you say regardless of what we do now. We can minimize the problem of foreign dependence by developing domestic energy reserves, though.
