A Modest Proposal:

Since Bush seems to want to convert the United States into a feudal state—give absolute power to the Lord of the Manor (now known as a CEO) and wage-slavery to the serfs (now known as employees), and furthermore, ensure the dependency of the serfs by eliminating all social safety net programs—I suggest that we go all the way.

During feudal times, the king was expected to lead his troops into battle. So be it!
