Lets talk about class warfare then. How much of the tax breaks are going to the wealthiest? How much is going to the middle class. You make over $200,000 per year and you'll be getting back over 11,000 in Shrub's tax breaks. You make around $50,000 you get back a grand total of $76. Isn't that a form of class warfare? Interestingly enough, whenever point have been raised that conservatives cannot answer, they start to scream about liberals engaging in class warfare. How about a better response than hostile rhetoric. larry >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Maureen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Saturday, January 25, 2003 10:28 PM >Subject: Re: debunking the rolling stone bug-hunter article > > >> At 11:09 PM 1/25/03, Kevin wrote: >> >Well in that case Larry, your statement about Journalistic integrity is >off >> >base.
