mainly help the wealthiest people who have too much money anyway. 1. How much is "too much money?" Is it $5? $50? $500? $5000? $50000? $500000? $5000000? 2. Who decides how much is "too much money"? 3. If someone with "too much money" walks down the street, is it ok for someone who has "not enough money" (based on whatever the government decides is "too much" and "not enough") to liberate the rich person's wallet, thus solving two problems at once?

Bush's cuts mainly help the wealthiest people who have too much money anyway. GAWD, ARE YOU DUUUUUUUUMB! Stupider than a bag or nails! Dumber than a sack of rocks! Do you have any flippin' idea who you posted that to, dolt? YOU POSTED THAT TO A SILICON VALLEYER! DUNCE! EVERYBODY here is rich! At least by national standards. $100K+ salaries are common as dirt here. Any decent engineer gets that. And then there are the "brilliant" ones like Dizzie, the alleged management. They make more. Of course, gas has FINALLY made it down to about $1.75 a gallon after being over $2. And a 3-bedroom, 2-bath rundown starter house in a bad neighborhood will cost you $500K+. A good neighborhood, add another $500K. Figure out the payments on that (not that you could, of course). "Rich" is a relative term, stupe. If the shopping cart you push became worth 10X as much, but Ripple also went up 10X, would you be better off? Dumber than a bag of hammers.
