A. Hastings D-Fl just kicked some butt on the House floor
Edited on Tue Jun-28-05 10:12 AM by FLDem5
(paraphrased)
"I would like to see some Republican come down to the floor one day and say, 'we don't have money for a tax cut for a rich individual, so we can meet our obligations to the needy in this world'."

CSpan1 - but he is done now.

1. "Free Market" Mysticism = Trickle Down Economics = Double Cross
There is no obligation for those who get the tax breaks to spend the money in any way that benefits anyone but themselves, so it goes into derivatives and yachts and we're told there isn't enough for Everyone, so Some (Others) just have to accept less.

Right to Life applies only as long as you are in a womb.
