How can you trust government with running the economy when it can't even cut it as a drug pusher? :P Derek

Clark is going to have to live this down. Interesting historical assertion: Words from Wesley Clark, General and now Democratic Presidential candidate, on Meet the Press, June 15, 2003 (emphasis added): The Bush tax cuts weren't fair. The people that need the money and deserve the money are the people who are paying less, not the people who are paying more. I thought this country was founded on a principle of progressive taxation. In other words, it's not only that the more you make, the more you give, but proportionately more because when you don't have very much money, you need to spend it on the necessities of life. On the other hand, Lieberman is nuts to say this As the Associated Press reports, on Monday Lieberman told AFL-CIO leaders that he would not back down from "talk [ing] straight" to them--Lieberman has, in recent weeks, been affirming his support for trade agrements, which contributed to much of the prosperity of the 1990s. "Of all the candidates, I'd say, I've had the guts to stand up before audiences and not tell them all they want to hear," Lieberman said Monday, according to the AP. "You're not going to help the American economy by putting a wall around America."
