and a republicans view of sacrifice would be wasting american lives to fuel corperate profits.

I think a better question might be...I was told that the Iraq war would cost about $150 Billion by those who were leading the charge. We now see it's real cost over $1 Trillion, largely due to mistakes and strategic error...caused not simply by unforseen challenges, but rather largely from judgement skewed by the radically liberal idiological disillusion of neoconservatisim.

In this case isn't President Bush taking MY MONEY to persue his radically liberal vision to restructure the Middle East via something so objectionable to the public as (not preemptive but) "preventative war"?

How is this any different than Hillary taking your money for healthcare or education.

Discuss.

PaulS- If you give more of your hard earned cash and time to local charities than I do hats off to you. The only problem is I am not talking about a charity. If you think that the IRS and Hillary are entitled to more money then write the check. Stop spending all your time and effort trying to explain why somebody else should have to pay and not you it is really getting old. It looks like the tax rebate will be voted on today, if passed you could always return your check when it comes in May it might help with your guilty conscious. If you return that check maybe Hillary will get her museum?

179,

Why do you have such a visceral issue with a Democrat asking for more of your money to spend, when 50% of the Government is Republicans already taking your money and spending it in wasteful ways?

It would seem as though the anger could be spread around.
