taxes taxes and more taxes. You are supporting a system of welfare every bit as much as the most liberal - only at the other extreme! To suggest that corporate welfare is not a problem is to completely ignore reality. For a long time now taxes paid by corporate America have declined as a percentage of taxes paid as the burden has shifted to the working man (oh gawd, I sound like Edwards!) It's true though as many of the largest corporation don't pay any taxes. To suggest that this is okay while corporate heads reap huge rewards in options is ridiculous. I am surely the last conservative standing as I insist that we pay our bills. That we have a smaller government. You have to have TAXES to pay for insane expenditures like the Iraq war. Or do you suggest we just charge it? The first Iraq war was pocket change largely picked up by other countries. This war is nothing short of the government with its hand in every single persons pocket. At a very least - in a democracy (or republic) - people deserve to know what this action cost. How it will be paid for. The balanced government spending under Clinton (ya it hurts huh?) has once again been replaced by runaway government spending. Republicans should be yelling the loudest. And Corporate America should be asked to help share in this effort!! Steve
