But more disturbingly, the President and his supporters have called for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.what these conservatives are saying today is, "We’re engaged v in the greatest ideological struggle in our generation, yet we don’t want to pay for it, and we want other peoples’ kids to die for it because my kid has better things to do with his/her future." Instead we have the President’s nephew, Pierce Bush, doing beer bongs at his frat house while working class kids are getting their asses blown off in Iraq.
