1. Know that in the long run they will be better off giving back their tax cut and supporting the middle class. or 2. Feel guilty about hording the wealth and want to 'spread it around'. 3. Are Chinese. 4. Have no idea what they are talking about. 5. Are secret socialists. 6. Want to be seen as non-racist. 7. Believe that they ARE the middle class. 8. Are gay and want to get married. 9. Are having nightmares about President Palin. 10. Secretly wish someone HAD taught them sex ed, even if it was in kindergarten. > -----Original Message----- > From: Klint Price - ArizonaITPro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 31, 2008 3:35 PM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Re: So... how is the recession affecting your buying decisions? > > Interesting comment considering 70% of those that have more than $10M in > net worth stand support the democratic ticket. > > > > Ralph Smith wrote: > > I would think lowing taxes to increase government revenue would only > work if the money is funneled back into the US economy in a > productive > way.
