the poor has always been a big voting block for the democrates, no surprise
there, but then there are also the well-educated and liberal-by-choice
people...eitherway, its always fun to poke at the uptight conservatives.

the tax-cut is based on a federal budget surplus that's not going to be
there. the economy is slowing down as it is.  and see if you can follow this
line of events here:  taxcut--more discretionary spending cash in the hands
of the consumer--inflation--higher interest rates--recession which is coming
within the next fours years.

that $7500 would've come in handy for the down payment for that SUV that

for some, education opens eyes to the problems and the inequalities.  for
some, education is a way to help others who are not as fortunate.  and then
for some, education is merely a formality taken for granted, nothing taken
and nothing given in the process;  wasted time and effort, pearls before
swines.
