That's what he said. I don't care if he does raise taxes on the middle class. I would be more than happy to pay more taxes if it meant increasing the quality of life of the average american. The quality of life of the average american, incidentally, being something bush could care less about.


But i know that you're not posturing here, because i have seen your concern about bush's spending habits and how you have often questioned how he plans to pay for the current military festivities.

Well, when the "most productive" couldn't function without the labor of the "least productive" it seems kinda fair to me. I think you're confused if you associate personal assets with productivity.
