Yes, lets! People feel like they made their money. Sorta a sole-type deal. "*I* did this". In reality (ha), it's this system, and there's probably a lot of game theory involved, but the long and short of it is, no man is an island. Socialism doesn't always have to be the capital "S" kind (unless you start a sentence with it, I guess), you know? I somehow doubt that someone like Obama would come up with a plan that would put us in the hole. And if not, at least he listens to people who know stuff, or whatever, right? But that's a little too on the original topic for my taste. =] What /about/ all the corporate fraud and whatnot? That "bad" stuff is just, well, it like comes with the territory or something? I don't know, but it seems like crazy shit just gets a pass, and there's all this focus on crap that isn't even that important, or is even ironic in it's focus-- We can bleed money elsewhere, without a glance, but education? Let's everyone argue over what color to paint the shed. The war profiteering? Does anyone even care, really? We should be burning these people at the stake. Eh. You don't have to read my lips to know I how I feel about a politician's tax plans, at this point in the game. :o)p -- All the rights secured to the citizens under the Constitution are worth nothing, and a mere bubble, except guaranteed to them by an independent and virtuous Judiciary.
