ATTN: Lurking Freepers...who do you think will PAY for all this mess?
While you chumps gleefully sing in the yellow rain of Bush's trickle-down lies, the FACT is -- FACT...look it up -- that Bush has spent every dime from now until kingdom come, and somehow it will all have to be made up. How on earth will this happen?

The republicans know full well that taxes will have to be raised, dramatically, to pay for what they've wrought. Their fervent hope is that they can delay the inevitable until the dems are in charge again (a prospect that appears to be coming sooner rather than later!), and that they'll be able to use the "tax raising liberal" meme again.

But tell me, do you people really think that you will be spared from the tax increases? Do you really think there will be special exemption to the increases for those who blindly supported Bush through all manner of lies, thick and thin? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!

Your money is green, too, and this folly of yours is going to cost YOU, too. What the bloody hell are you THINKING?

(If you are among Bush's top 1% "base," you'll not be concerned, because you've already got all of our money.)

3. Kinda funny how that works, eh?
Throughout the years all I've heard is Democrats are " Big Spenders" or love "Big Government", blah, blah, blah....
Yet it seems like it's the Republicans that are always setting up new sections of gov't and spending like crazy until they run out and the Democrats are forced to come in and clean this mess up...A mess they're always blamed for because, for the most part, society has gold fish brains...

4. Taxes are the DUES you pay to live in this country
and it seems a lot of * supporters haven't realized that it is tax money that pays for our highways, and streets, and police and fire, and built the TVA, REC, all the hydro-electric dams out west, the irrigation systems, flood control dams and levees....et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Hmm...there seems to be a LOT of things that taxes are used for. I wonder what they'll do when the police don't come quickly enough, or the fire department doesn't show up, or there are potholes in the streets, and the highways are falling apart....
