>>However, Bush's friends are doing great. Hooray for the top 5% of Americans.<<

thanks for looking out for the rest of us 95%. ;-)

seriously, i don't think the bushevik's care about 80% of that 5%.

ps - i've never understood why nary a democrat has pointed out that the top 10% of asset owners pay LESS than 10% of the taxes.

the republicrooks keep phrasing the issue in such a way as to look unfair, eg, "the top 10% of people pay 40% of the taxes and it isn't fair!" it isn't fair. the top asset owners ought to pay MORE b/c everyone else is supporting them with a higher tax burden relative to assets.

i also never understood why the demicans were never bright enough to speak out on th wonder of "trickle up" economic theory - especially in the context of an over supply economy.

i don't even like them, but i can figure out better arguments than their elite, million dollar "good ole boys and girls."
