I understand the business section of the paper reports petrolium profits are at an all time high,hummm,I guess the world figures the way we are throwing money around we are made of it.
Unfortunitly it's not that way,but we keep spending like it is.
The rich are getting richer,bankers blowing up like tics,we are spending and borrowing like there is no tomorrow,and the band is whippin' as fast as it can!

That being said, I guess there's only onething left to do! Yup! "Raise them taxes!"

Don't like it but that's what I forsee in the cards.Tax cuts didn't work in the past because the liberals refused to cut domestic spending,now it seems to be foreign spending,the end result will be the same....gonna have to raaaaiiiiise them taxes,just what we all want,yeah,right!

I got too much disposable income, bet the fed can fix that for me real quick!

[Rave]

REAL quick!

Bush would need a full frontal labotomy before he agreed to raise taxes. I am pretty sure he remembers what happened to Papa Bush when he made that very same mistake. If the economy continues to grow at its current pace there will be no need to raise taxes.

There'll be plenty of time after November. Besides, I hope you don't believe that bull the media is telling us. Jobs are literally flying away, faster than the sign that displays our countrie's national debt can register! The only jobs that are being created are jobs like were so plentiful in the Klintonista's reign: ...service related jobs! They are even cutting back on nurses...and you know how they have been crying how badly they are needed. Just get the ones you have to do more for the same amount as before. Yup, lots of burger flippin' jobs, too! Talk about career opertunity!

The facts would seem to contradict your opinoin Rufus.

For America's sake, i hope you are right and I'm wrong. Keep pandering to the criminals here without proper papers and sending jobs over seas....and it won't much matter after a while. We will all be liveing in the same third world conditions.

Well if I remeber right, after the big price increase in the 70s inflation took off, during carters presidency it was around 12 %, that could happen here because the world banking industry uses the dollar, as an ear mark, supply and demand, the extra fuel costs will allow the dollar to fall, and bingo inflation

I'm glad you see what I am talking about. It's hard enough to survive these days. I don't get a gummint check, like most of the others. I have to work and scrape the bottom of the barrle to make my finaces work. Yeah, i know there are others who are much worse off than me. For my positionon the food chain, i am greatful. But, i see myself, as are many other Americans, slideing toward the abiss! The harder i try the harder it becomes. While I look round and see my gummint giveing to the criminals and takeing from me. I see employers giveing to the criminals and ignoreing me. Meanwhile, the greedy fat cats are getting fatter while the whole of America suffers, excepting the fabulously wealthy/elite! I believe, if this trend continues, camalot, as invisioned by the Kennedys, will be a reality! We will be the masses and the rich will be the Gods. And, of course, along the way, America will cease to be, at least as invisioned by the Founding Fathers!

sad but true rufus...sad but true.

But, it seems that the gummint, is so evil, vile and corrupt...that even the most honest and decent person is soon changed into a mindless clone of the gummint! I beleive even Jesus would be hard pressed to remain holy!
