President Bush

First, I associate socialism with communism and if I misunderstood you and Jim, I need to apologize.. I apologize.

Second, I think you didn't get my point on the tax issue. After looking at both sides I've come to the conclusion that folks making over $166,500 are paying too much tax. One problem is that the president says the tax breaks are giving the poor and working class some much needed break, while the Democrats point out that the rich are benefitting the most. They are and they are paying too much of a percentage. Just don't say its in place to help the poor. If you don't want someone to call you on it. The poor are only saying 0.9% but they don't pay much(if any) taxes to start with so how are they going to save. The problem is.. its kind of hard to raise a family on $25k a yr.

I also agree with you on the welfare issue. Some folks get it that don't need it.

The main reason I usually don't get into discussions about religion and polotics is because it seems to explode and folks get upset and no one comes away with anything.. usually. I still consider Jim a friend and probably always will. That being said, I think its time for me to take a break from the internet.
