Time for the rich to start paying their fair share again.
We are about to learn a very painful lesson. That trickle down really is voodoo economics. And only economies like Clinton's work and are sustainable, even if it means paying taxes. Bush is aiming for 7 trillion in new debt and he's already more than halfway there. His promises to cut the deficit in half were bald-faced lies. He is doubling the deficits instead and he knows it. But the rightwing doesn't care. So long as Bush pretends to be against gays and abortion, though he really doesn't give a damn about any of that malarky.

Are you claiming cause and effect? If so, you are on extremely shaky ground here.
