They pay most of the taxes in America, do most of the work, their kids do most of the killing and getting killed for their country. All they want is a decent days wages for a day's work, decent affordable housing and schools, insurance for when they get sick and if it isn't too much to ask before you send their kids to get killed over weapons of mass destruction could you tell the truth about whether the other guy has them or not?<BR/><BR/>What's wrong with being the guy that cleans up aisle 2? or better yet, what's wrong with you Morty?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-1119440685844126472005-06-22T07:44:00.000-04:002005-06-22T07:44:00.000-04:00Bill, Communism has already been tried and it was ...Bill, <BR/>Communism has already been tried and it was a dismal failure. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I do understand that your illiteracy is legendary.<BR/><BR/>Why don't you educate yourself on the fair tax plan before you dismiss it?
