#1 Had a thought this morning. Once, I would like to see a moritorium of all government spending which does not have to do with the essentials of government function - take that pork fat and re-invest it in emergency services and infrastructure. Sorry NPR, NEA, PBS et al peoples lives are at stake and we need to re-equip emergency services with new equipment (especially out my way) and improve roads/rail. This money would go right into the economy by way of jobs and equipment purchases. Said programs would either have to make it up by donations or mothball for that year (showing how much worth they actually have, perhaps private enterprise would have a chance to fill in).

#2 Perhaps it would be useful to point out the percentage of "Wealthy" Dem senators, and how much THEY would be paying, (Yes Kennedy comes immediately to mind, can we say "Squeal like a stuck Pig?")

#3 The thing that scares me is not knowing what they're gonna call rich. Bill Gates? OK, he's rich. Tax him. I'm poor compared to him. But, compared to a welfare mom, I'm rich. And Hillary knows I'm not going to vote for her anyway so I'll probably get taxed too.

#4 yes the arrows of Arioch are appropriate here. Blood and souls, etc.
