Most people will feel tax relief, and many in the middle-class like you and I will end up paying just about the same as we're paying right now.

Which is why it would never pass as a law. We may be able to out vote them but we can't outspend them in the lobby. |
Hey, whattya know, it's the root of the issue!
That's why our cable TV sucks, why cell phone plans are retarded, why energy costs so much, why most cars are still powered by oil, why we're at war with terrorists, why the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, why racism still exists, why gay marriage is even an issue, etc, etc, etc. This country is run by old, fat, rich, self-centered,
greedy, white men.
Fuck that.
