Dan At 11:20 AM 12/26/2007 -0800, John S. said something that elicited my response: >Tim, >When I say its a tax, I meant a hidden tax. You can't overtly tax the poor >without looking like a heartless boob. In fact, I did pay taxes before >B-b-b-bush. I never had to pay for so many drugs out of my pocket. That is a >hidden tax on the poor. I personally payed out over $2,000 on stuff that use >to be covered by Medicare or Medicaid oir Waiver, each of these so called >safty nets took me a long miserable battle that assured the world I was >virtually homeless. If you add up everything they stopped paying for and "PLAN >D FROM OUTER SPACE!", then I'm now receiving $2000 less than I got in 2004. >And I'm told by my congressman it will be getting worse because they intend to >make further cuts in services. That is a %20 tax increase on the poor. At >least on this poor it is. Could you imagine the Shyt Fyt all those poor >millionaires would throw if they raised their taxes 20%. >I do appreciate the Sunday lunch at the church, but it isn't like I can trade >it for condom catheters. >Another little trick in Ohio...they want my next chair to be a Pride Jazzy.

I'm getting all new wheels three new safety controllers and >the custom back they said I needed 4 1/2 years ago, and then it is completely >out of warranty. >So, I call what they do taxing the poor. I'm sure some of you feel the gov't >overtaxes you. I know I never liked it when I worked. They sure didn't spend >my taxes to fix up the neighborhood I live in. >Oh, I get it! You think I blame a party? I don't think there are 2 dozen >people in Washington DC that give a crap about what they do and haven't sold >out the American people. Reagan had Alzheimer's, Bush 1 believed Arabs loved >him, Slick Willy was, well, Slick Willy, and Bush2 will probably be remembered >as the first president to get the US into a religious war. I think theres way >too much proof that we don't neeeeeeed no steeeeeeenkkeeeng president. >Americans should do public service and take a test to earn the right to vote, >and lawyers should never be allowed into politics. >Tim, If you are doing better on this new system, I could sure use a few tips. >Every bill I have has gone up dramatically. The guy that owns the building >just raised the price of the washing machine to $2 a load. My electric goes up >to $115 next month. My TV dinners even went up. If you have some income, hell, >I'm happy for you. With Bush in office, people with lots of money have done >pretty well. I'm just pissed cause I'm poor and Bush gives away more money to >the worlds largest corporations than he spends on health care and aid for >poor. He has done more to help people refinance 1/2 million dollar homes in 3 >months than hes done for children in "no child left behind" in the last 6 >years.
