sure john, what's your plan? How about kerry give up four of his five houses? Hell, you can only live in one at a time.... you want free housing? no problem, Russia use to give out housing based upon your contribution to society. hell, I need a car to get to work, shouldn't the govt buy me one? I'd lose my job if I didn't have a car to get to work. teresa started the cradle to grave marxism today. Oh that's right, she's from Mozambique, a bastion of Marxism.... where you want to stop the giveaway John? If you want marxism, just spit it out.

Do you favor eliminating the $500,000 cap gains tax break that Clinton signed in 1996? How many billions has that cost the US treasury...

How come the rich are getting much richer and the poverty level is skyrocketing? The rich getting richer is a good thing. If they are not getting richer chances are the econonmy as a whole isn't. The poverty level isn't skyrocketing. How come the working poor can't make ends meet? Because they are poor. That pretty much is defined as people who have dificulty making ends meet financially. The poor always have had dificulties making ends meet. In the past (and in some places even today) that might mean wondering how they are going to avoid starvation. Now it might mean wondering how they are going to make their next car payment or paying their basic cable TV bill on time. Even though these people probably don't pay income taxes, a raise in income taxes is just going to make life more difficult for many of them. Tim
