JF, Well you must be a happy camper, because at present our policy is soaking everyone else so that the rich can be more "rich". Taking less money from the "rich" doesn't amount to "soaking everyone else," any more than spending less money on welfare amounts to "stealing from the poor." You can argue with relativism, but the fact is that we all win when the economy is stronger. No need to remind me about record deficits, because you won't agree with me that the solution is less spending, not higher taxes. What are you saying? We need to make those agencies [CIA and FBI] stronger. By throwing more money at the problem? I buy the notion that what they need is a complete overhaul, not more money that feeds a bureaucracy that's more focused on preserving its budget over improving its performance. So you accept entitlements for the rich and not for the poor? LOL, that all depends on what your definition of an "entitlement" is. Tenchusatsu
