You write implying we quit taxing the rich. That's an obvious falsehood, by a country mile. You write claiming Kerry would "do something" about borrowing and spending, as though he were some gutsy anti-government Libertarian with a chance to be elected, rather than a snivelling Democan Republicrat the likes of which gave us huge government in the first place. That's thoroughly unrealistic. You go on to mention the rich again, who create the ideas and organize the hard work & the companies that employ America though still paying the vast bulk of taxes despite the lie you started with. In 2003 the top 5% of earners paid 54% of all taxes. They may therefore have it damn easy in your eyes, but by god you really shouldn't write as if they don't pay taxes anymore, or that good old John Kerry would have made them, saving the day. It's a comedy. Grade-school tom-foolerly is all you are offering. You bought it hook, line, and sinker somewhere. Ho hum. Dan B.
