Exactly what mistakes are you talking about, GfinS??? The massive tax cuts that Bush pushed down our throats which in one year wiped out the surpluses he inherited??? Yeah, I'm all for that...

Or how about the $100B a year we spend on obsolete military hardware because defense contractors are lining the pockets of mostly Repub Congressmen from the South...

Or how about the $30B a year we give millionaire farmers for absolutely nothing???

Or how about the $10B we give poor Big Oil every year for absolutely nothing???

The list goes on and on and most of this money is going to red states... 90% of farm subsidies got to red states...

The largest chunk of our tax $$$ goes to Texas where there are 17 (count 'um) military bases... That's $100B right there...

No, what we have is a very corrupt system that favors red states... Red states get back an average of $1.30 for every $1.00 they pay in federal income taxes... Blue states about 80 cents on the dollar...

You say that both parties are the same... No, they aren't... One is getting heavily subsidized by the other... This is 100% corruption that favors the Repubs in a BIG way!!!

Reality 101...
