Lets lawyer-up and make bush take responsibility like a poor person.

Foreclose on his house, take his assets to give to the people who lost everything do to his deliberate actions.

Then lets go after Coors, Dupont, Limbaugh, and the rest of the fringe.

Or we could make them forfeit their freedom and put them in jail.

If you think that's wrong, then why do they do it to poor people and give their meager assets to rich people?

1. And he only gets a tired, cynical Public Defender for a defense lawyer

NOT a legal "dream team".

2. I think his ranch needs to be siezed to build a disaster center in the

public interest for the greater good!

Did you know that the Welfare Reform bill passed in 1996 is called, "The Personal Responsibility Act"? That bill says the only way a poor person can contribute to society is to work a McJob, and that parenting, community activities, schooling, or extended family care is actually "doing nothing"? In other works a minimum wage job and having a daycare raise your children is somehow "better" than if you do anythig unpaid ~ especially if you are poor.

Calling it what it was is all about the way our tax dollars are administrated. At that time advocates fought the bill trying to point out that this bill was not just about poor people, it is about AlL Americans. Since the bill could not SAY those activities was "doing nothing" for everyone, they used the welfare mom as the canary in the mine. Now look who is getting all the tax money in this country? Not that it was much before the PRA was enacted, the poor did not get near as much (about 4% of the budget). The rich at that time got literally thousands of times more of our tax dollars. Now they are getting almost ALL of it and none goes to the rest of us for services.

Yeah I would LOVE to "lawyer up" these people. I guess that inheriting millions of dollars or taking 5 week vacations twice a year, is "doing something". Thanks to them now, raising kids to fight in Iraq for them, taking care of Gramma, or going to school to get an education for a better paying job, is now "doing nothing". When and are the rich going to take "personal responsibility" for contributions to this country as well??????
