With neither quill nor qualm, Travis Newbury quothed:
As soon as the rich start driving KIAs I will agree to give more to
the poor. Until then, I give enough. Together with my wife we give
almost 38% of our gross income to the government. I am pretty sure
neither John Kerry or Bush gave up 38% of their income.
I wasn't talking about giving money to the poor. You shouldn't have to
give anything to the poor. I was referring to the middle class and
using "give" in the reciprocal sense of not taking away what should be
there for them to justly earn.
But think about it. At least the republican's admit they don't want
to give.
The only thing Republicans "admit" is that their convoluted stratagems
are unequivocally and invariably right.
I do not see any of the wealthy democrats offering to give
up their millions. And the tax cuts isn't giving it up either. They
are almost irrelivent at their level of wealth.
This isn't about contributions or even, generally, tax cuts. It's about
bullshitting the American people. -There, I did it myself. 'The
"American People", oh, so sacrosanct, must be led down the path of
righteousness for His name\'s sake lest they wander astray from improper
values and other insidious influences of ignoble character.' That would
be a good Bush paraphrase, no?
As I said: crap. Both parties may be full of it, but at least the
Democrats use it productively for my class. And, btw, a robust middle
class shrinks the ranks of the poor whereas a swollen upper class
increases them.
