Hastert and Delay: lookin' out for the little guy

[Telly Savalas]

GOP House leaders clear the fog on the Social Security issue:

Here's Hastert:

Hastert (Ill.) said in an interview that the idea of raising the income ceiling was tantamount to a tax increase simply because it "would take more money away from people."

and Delay's got his back:

DeLay went even further in two cable-news interviews, saying that change alone "wouldn't be any reform" and criticizing efforts to raise the income cutoff.

"To everybody that makes over $90,000 a year, it's a tax increase," he said on CNN.

Dogmatic adherence to a unfair and regressive tax. That's hot.

Some congressmen are still willing to stand up for the beleaguered six-figure wage earners!
