Why has Saudi Arabia been allowed to sit in the bleachers during the Iraq War.?..the Bushs' are still protecting their Arab buddies at the expense of middle and lower class men and women.......talk about an uneven playing field.Kerry will definitely get the Saudi's and other moderate Arab nations to help solve the Iraq problem otherwise a Shiite clerical Iran-like government will take power and will be Israel's and the West's nightmare.

J.ChrisParson,re:"Bush..cut taxes..". After hedonic adjustment, it's HUGE tax cut for the elites(Rich), it's HUGE tax lost for the middle and lower-classes. Here is how the secret hedonic adjustment works: 1. the Rich got more money to "invest" (same asset inflated by the Rich's new found liquidity). 2. Middle and lower classes got to pay extra for the cut-backs by other agencies and other programs. 3. Middle and lower classes cannot keepup/matchup with the growth of the Rich's asset inflation, in effect having a cut in the affordability on everything else. In effect, the gov, (like AG") print a lot of money and give most of it to the rich (trickle down economic). For example, say $1000, the rich got $990 (trickle down economic), supposingly have to pay $350+ back in tax, now they get to keep more because they were given more to begin with ...
