I thought this was interesting!

Lets be thankful that Mr. Conservative Bush actually stepped in and did something to help the economy. It must have killed him, but he did do what was necessary and probably saved us from the Great Depression II. The reason those liberal folk want to raise taxes is to set up systems of protection against situations like we are witnessing now, or just barely avoided. Republicans are in favor of keeping taxes low and pumping that money into the military, which is good, but with a better equilibrium between the military and the markets the mighty old U.S. could be back to where it belongs. Should the wealthier people be "punished" with a greater tax? No, but are they really being punished? The increase in tax will help on the less wealthy people, maybe those who are lazier and don't make much, but with more a little financial protection those "lazy" folk (me) who make under 250k will pump their money into the economy and badda-bing we are back were we belong.

I like to think of a successful economy as a well broken in VS. Use her to catch big fish, service it, and use her to catch big fish again. Anyone else understand that?
