Why increase the taxes on people who have millions and billions in the bank when you can soak what''s left of the American middle class some more.

Dear Mr. Hickabee,

Could you please ask the billionaires running the oil industry today if they could get gas up to $ 4.00 a gallon, ah heck, just tell''em to take it to $5.00 a gallon. We know they need more cash to pay their personal b u t t wipers.

A hundred years from now, these greed mongers will wish they had been homeless in this lifetime.

Hmmm .. what a great election, choose the perverted sleaze from New York, or the other perverted sleaze Senator from New Your, or the scumback lying filth from Arkansas, or the other scumbag lying filth from Arkansas. Their positions are the same - raise taxes on us to pay for big subsidies and giveaways to the "rich" ie the thieves who are plundering us.

Great election, what a choice, Scumabee the phony from Arkansas, or Shillery the phony liar from Arkansas. Who shall we vote for? The liar or the thief or the liar or the crrok or the sick freak? Let''s see, should we vote for the traitor who hates americans and says she doesn''t, or the traitor who hates freedom and says he wants to kill for freedom? Hmmm .. what a choice, I don''t know what to do. the liar from Arkansas, or the liar from Arkansas, who shall I vote for.

There''s already plenty of experience with national sales taxes. Politicians in Europe LOVE them because they are incredibly easy to manipulate, plus they''re difficult for consumers to break out as a separate part of what they pay for things - the tax is buried everywhere along the line from factory or farm to the retail store. And yes, they DO hit hardest at those least able to pay, while barely tickling the wealthy. But I guess I shouldn''t be surprised to hear this from a Republican. It''s just the culmination of what the Bushies have been trying to do over the last 7 years - protecting the wealthy with huge tax cuts at the top end of the economic spectrum while the rest of us get a few extra pennies in our weekly checks.

Nice work, GOP. At this point even Hilary is starting to look like an attractive candidate.

The poor don''''t pay tax unless you''''re counting lottery tickets and cigarettes.

And food, clothing, medicine, transportation, water, utilities, and a myriad of other things which are needed to survive. The "working poor", those who are employed, but make far less than the median standard, also have taxes deducted from their checks.

So "the Hound" would hang the US government''s ability to provide essential services on a diminishing middle class, whose employment is leaving for slave labor states, and whose purchasing power has steadily been in decline since the 70s, with no change of direction in sight?

More Reaganesque "voodoo economics".

Well America, it was nice knowing you, you will be missed...

For the person who said there will be no republican elected to president next election----- At one time I would agree with you, BUT--- Considering what the democratic congress has accomplished since gaining the majority, other than accomplishing the important things - re-naming a library - I think the next election could be very interesting. If everything thing goes absolutley perfect, The whole *** establishment will get voted out, democrat and republican.
