The tax cut isn't a tax cut. It's an IOU to China. Bush has spent deliriously and has no money left in the treasury.

Your state and local taxes will go up yet again, your services will be cut yet again, our deficit will go up yet again....

Bush has weakened the USA both economically and physically...

get your tax cut and then duck

Perhaps George Bush can run the UN after his last term. That would due much to heal the world. ;)

GREED

by Sweet Honey in the Rocks

I been thinking 'bout
how to talk about greed
I been thinking 'bout
how to talk about greed

I been wondering if I
could sing about greed
Trying to find a way to
talk about greed

Greed is a poison rising
in this land
The soul of the people
twisted in its command

It moves like a virus,
seeking out anyone
Greed never stops,
its work is never done

A creeping, killing, choking,
invading everywhere
There really is no escaping
greed's tricky snare

Nothing seems to stop it
once it enters your soul
It has you buying anything,
spinning out of control

Not partial to gender,
or your sexual desire
All it wants is for you to own,
to possess and to buy

It rides with the culture,
touching us all
Greed really isn't picky,
it'll make anybody fall

It's been around a long time,
since way before we began
Before this was a nation,
greed drove people to this land

Greed driven people
created slavery,
Black men, women and children became
somebody's property

Greed is a strain of the
American dream
Having more than you need
is the essential theme

Everybody wanting more
than they need to survive
Is a perfect indication,
greed has settled inside

Maybe you don't really
know just what I mean
Maybe you don't want to
know about your and my greed

You may wonder whether
you're infected by greed
If you have to ask, then
this song you really need

Greed is sneaky,
and hard to detect in myself
I see it so clearly in
everybody else

I can see it in you

You can see it in me

We can see it in big corporations

See it in the government

See it in the banks

I can see it in the Congress

See it in the military

I can see it in my neighbor

I can see it it the church

see it in the factories

It really shows up clearly,
you, and you and your greed

I been thinking 'bout
how to talk about greed

I been thinking 'bout
how to talk about greed

I been wondering if I
could sing about greed

Trying to find a way to
talk about greed
