Hi Tejek, RE: "There are some but if it were as prevalent as you suggest, Bush would not be getting ready to do a third round. Yes, that's right........he's working with his advisors to prepare another tax cut." You're kidding me. No........he wants to win in November. The people he tends to like (the dividend people) don't even invest into new growth areas. I'm pretty certain about it. Of course........why do you think its taken two years to come out of this recession and the recovery is lukewarm at best. He's for old, slow growth companies, not innovation. it's not like the old industries grow enough to hire new people. And then he wonders why his unemployment figures are stumbling - if you feed old companies, you get no growth. He's for getting reelected pure and simple. He wants to implement the second phase of his pre emptive war policy. Iran or Syria is probably next. RE: " Well, this issue re. tax cuts is somewhat analogous. You, Amy J, hang with people who think that you have to give back some of what you get for the good of society. That's not the predominate view in this country......" It would be interesting to see a poll on this - to see the bigger view. Ones perspective can get distorted by whom one hangs out with. On another note, the expression "give back" sounds like one is superior, which is why I don't like the expression. Anyone who is in a position of "giving back" simply has taken more than others in society - why isn't society honest about it (I don't mean you). There are some that act as if they are superior than the people they are helping. I suspect the poll would be split pretty much down the middle much like the country itself is. People who want it all think its their divine right [to have it all]. They can't stand spending tax monies on anything but defense. Sad but true! I am afraid evolution does not spread her gifts evenly! <g> ted
