>>I'd like to see Europe put together a Marshall Plan to help us recover from Clinton. I remember when people who wanted the markets to go down floated rumors that Reagan had a heart attack. Conversely, we all remember how the markets rallied first as the GOP took Congress and later when Clinton was impeached. Take a look at what these idiots want: No tax? No earmark First, liberals complained bitterly that people who pay no income taxes failed to receive a tax-rebate check last year. Now, a liberal group says it is unfair that people who pay no income taxes are not allowed to earmark $3 for the presidential campaign fund. The Greenlining Institute, in a prepared statement yesterday, said those most affected are the poor and some full-time college students. "This is an issue of equality," said John Gamboa, executive director of the San Francisco-based organization. "If we're going to have this program, everyone should be able to designate this money." The group say anyone who paid Social Security taxes should be allowed to check off funds for the presidential-campaign fund. In addition, Greenlining wants Congress to consider increasing the amounts from $3 to $5 for individual filers and from $6 to $10 for joint filers. The group will outline this and its other campaign-reform proposals during a press conference Tuesday at the National Press Club. washtimes.com 87% don't use the check-off - they explicitly reject "public funding", i.e., unaccountable coercion, of elections. So the Leftists want to find another way around true democracy. If "stupid" isn't yet a synonym for "Leftist", then it can't be long in coming. I wonder what label they'll defame next?
