Tax hikes?  Hell no!  Bad for the economy says Bush....Well, I buy that if the hikes were for the already burdened little guy. but the hikes are meant for YOU sir, and your friends in Texas who pay less than the

guy working out of the broom closet in the office..and he has three kids to feed, no health insurance, and a pay check that is less than it was in

1970 dollars.

I thought you might come clean, now your throne will be occupied by a woman, or possibly a man with a name like Obana, who is also black.

But you are going to favor the rich to the end, I see. Too bad. CNN and Fox news might let it pass, and your friends over at the ..er, uh..faith based(blush)  non taxed,political base,  but they had their chance, and so did you. And you blew it Sir. Go back and look at the oath you swore to. All the people. Not just your supporters and

hummveers you took an oath to support.

Who was it that led the country after 9-11?  Did anyone ask for sacrafice or the American people how they could help? No. We were advised to go shopping. And it might have worked if the whole scheme

didn't come tumbling down a little earlier than you planned--about 15 months to be exact...about the time the bad loans and phony parseling

trash debt off to foreign  markets has come to light. But what the hell, a lot of new millionairs are thanking you now.

Some Japanese or Spanish pensioner won't be getting that pension, thanks to our sending our garbage bad debt to other countries to absorb. Now I know what the real shock and awe meant, unfortunately

so do those who have to live with the unbridled consequence of an out of control market place.
