Better wake up, John. The Democratic candidates are already muttering "Haliburton" and casting aspersions towards Bush in that regard... or who do you think they are referring to when they talk about tax cuts "for a few rich friends"?
"Scandal" is hyperbolic, so is "tax cut for only the wealthiest", but that's the name of the game in politics. I'm still trying to figure out how my household's combined income in any way could be considered among the wealthiest in the country (two school teachers in rural Southern Indiana!), but hey, the Dems tell me we are among the very most fortunate financially. That's what terrifies me about their vision the most, I suppose... they think I make too much, and they feel justified in taking even more from me and giving it to "the poor" (who the hell are "the poor", anyway?), leveling society out. If I'm rich, what level is fair for everyone? Shudder.
Hey, hyperbole IS fun!
