Shrub says rich avoid taxes - kinda like they avoid the draft, too?

[DesEtoiles]

putting the burden of the draft on everyday Amercians?

1. When did he make such a revelation as that?

Is this the October SURPRISE?

[DesEtoiles]

2. My editorial comment - Shurb's been joking that the rich avoid taxes...

and that shifts the tax burden back to everyday Americans.

And to me that seems to be similar to what happens during the draft - as Shrub should well know - the rich avoid the draft and put the burden on everyone else.

3. If the rich don't pay taxes, why does Bush give them tax breaks?

I wish I had a bumpersticker that said STUPID REPUBLICANS FOR BUSH just so I could place over any BUSH/CHENEY '04 stickers that I see.

4. its quite simple

the repugs want to keep the poor poor. if not, who else will fight in their wars?

on NOW with Bill Moyers last week, they were interviewing a single mother who was living under the poverty line. she said one thing which struck me: "Its sad that for a young girl in America to go to college, she has to go to war first"

5. This really troubles me

the idea that not paying taxes is acceptable if you can get away with it.

I think there ought to be obligations for citizenship.
It ought to be a privellege, not just something one takes for granted. I honestly feel paying taxes is necessary. Also some kind of public service is not asking too much.
It does not have to be military sevice.

I guess this goes back to being entitled, i.e. aristocracy. Its a most anti democratic concept.

6. there is no draft,

and the rich have always had things better than the poor. Isn't that what the whole point of being rich is?

7. kind of like some rich with connections avoid Jail time (Lay I say more)

Marth did not tweek they proper donation wheel and see what happens.
