Let me take a wild stab here. You are against Bush's tax cuts because they favor the rich (while liking such poor candidates as Gore, Hillary, and Edwards). Now who do you think $6 gas will hurt more: (a) a garderner's assistant making $30K/yr or (b) Al Gore? Bush tax cuts--well, I think we ought not run huge deficits. But I'd probably axe a lot of stuff that goes to seniors--after all, I am 40. I really don't get a lot out of all that money that sloshes toward the AARP set. And no, I do not care for any of those names, although it would not surprise me if Gore ends up running. Anyway, if there is one candidate I like here in the early early going, it would be Rudy Giuliani, but I have to be honest-- I'm not looking to closely yet, they all seem pretty flaky. $6 a gallon gas might get some folks off the road, and then I could go faster. So that is good for me. And it might get me on my bike an extra dozen or so times a month in the summer--which would be good for my fat gut. Win win. Oh, and I'd like to see more stuff shipped by train and those big semi trucks off the interstate, so expensive diesel would be good. You seem angry, what is up with that? Are you underfed and underentertained. I think not. No American can complain about much of anything we have it so good.
