Well, I'm not sure that that will be the least biassed of sources <g> but I enjoyed it. This column has quite an interesting slant... star-telegram.com after 10 years, when the Bush cuts have fully kicked in, the cut for the richest 1 percent will total $774 billion. Nice for that 1%. The conservative mantra on tax cuts is: "It's your money." Yes, it is, and it's your national debt too. You have to help fund government because it's the price of living in a civilized society. Which, to me, really sums up the difference. With privilege comes duty; with rights, responsibilities. Ahem - surely that's a RWET theme? or is this an exception, that the right to live in a rich, civilised, comfortable democracy allowing both personal freedom and protection - is not matched by any responsibility to maintain it?
