Dog Eat Dog
When I hear Bush supporters chant, "Four More Years!" my immediate thought is, "Four more years of what?" Loss of jobs? Record deficits? Quagmires, like Iraq? Record numbers of poor and people without health care? More curtailing of civil liberties? More environmental rollbacks? Bring it on! Did you know that real income for the typical American household has dropped by more than $1,500 during the Bush Administration, while the cost of family health care premiums has risen by more than $3,500?
This story in the Detroit News is one of the clearest explanations I've seen of the wrongheadedness and general unfairness of Bush's tax cuts. If you're making $300,000 or more a year, the news is pretty good; if not, too bad for you. And get a load of that chart showing the alarming deficits. Oh well, in Bushworld, there's never a bad time for tax cuts for the rich, even during a time of war. That's okay, the next generations can pay for it. And this is supposed to be the party of values? Only in a dog eat dog, survival of the fittest, world.
