Subject: RE: BS: 2 Setbacks for Bush
Well, fir starters, the SS payroll tax is very regressive in that it is only collected on about the first $82,000 (give or take a couple grand). So it is very mmuch a system that is financed by the working class.

And where is it written that folks whose families have profited from the labors of other *deserve* squat. We have an entire class of folks who, like George Bush for example, have never had to work yet they feel *entitled* to control the wealth. Why? Because they born? Give me a break. Bottom line, they still hold 95% of the wealth and cry like crybabies if the working man gets anything.

Meanwhile, the working class is slipping backward with poorer schools, poorer health care, more debt, longer hours, less of real opportunity to ever be able to retire, unprecidented bankruptcy numbers and porportions and a *ruling class* that talks *tricke down* and *supple side* as they stumble over each other in the BIG BUSH CASH GRAB....

More later, I'm sure. Gotta *work*.
