Backlash - I not only paid attention in econ, someone actually gave me a piece of paper declaring a degree in it, so I may have a clue. I agree with alot of what wit is saying, and feel fairly similar. They did have eight years to get rid of the dams and they are no closer now. GW atleast has the balls to admit he won't do it, unlike Mr. everything to everyone. Don't forget, he wants to fight for you - wait he had eight years to do that and didn't accomplish one appreciable thing. He is a total loser. Then again, GW is scary in what he may do. His laugh reminds me of a very devious person. I hope I'm reading that wrong. Obviously I'm not pro either clown and am having a tough time deciding who to vote for. With loser boy, I get 4 more years of grid lock and some a$$hole trying to tax me more simply because I work my butt off and fall into a higher bracket. Screw that!! But, if GW get in, they can get something done, only question is, will I like what they get done. As an avid outdoorsman, probably not. As an avid capitalist, probably.

You are right about the lower end spending there tax returns on goods and services and putting the money back into the market but it is BS as far as an aurgument. The rich simply buy higher end toys, you know, luxury toys. And guess what, they are taxed at a higher rate and employ just as many workers to make them. Ever here of the luxury tax on yachts?

I truly feel the only 'fair' way is for a return of the same percentage across the board. If joe smuck only pays 2k in taxes but gets 1k back, it is not fair to expect Gates to pay 10mil and only get 1k back. Thats totally wrong. Then again, those stuck in the middle class always have had a hard-on about screwing the people that actually fulfill the american dream and provide them with their income, what a poor attitude to have. Gates has done more for this community than everyone on this board combined and deserves every penny he has and more. Yet loser boy wants to disassemble his company (the same one that has powered the greatest bull market of all time that he takes credit for) and tax the crap out of him, to give to those that didn't earn it. Yeah, thats the guy I want running my future.

The only thing worse, if Gore is a brown noser, then Locke is a brown tonguer. He has it jammed up the a$$ of anyone he can and does nothing to reduce gov't and give back TO THOSE THAT DESERVE IT.

Bring on Jesse!

I don't necessarily feel better, but now I need to fish.
