Yet another chapter in the ongoing war to determine what's best for America. If you listen to Bush's agenda, it sounds as though he really intends to help the American people; but on closer examination, most of his ideas only benefit certain people--namely, people who contributed to his campaign in 2000.
The thing is, I keep hearing drivel from various Republicans about what an honorable and moral man this Bush is. Not just the rich ones, either--it's no surprise to them that Bush is handing them favors. After all, they paid for it.
No, I'm talking about middle-class Republicans, most of whom share our President's religious convictions. They repeatedly refer to his moral standards, his trustworthiness, and his commitment to the American people.
Do these people actually know anything about Bush's past actions before becoming President, or even pay attention to his actions, as opposed to the words he speaks?
I think they're just so thrilled to have one of their own in office that they'll accept anything he says, no matter how patently ridiculous. As long as he attends church every Sunday and stays firm on his pro-life stance and commitment to defense spending, they'll swallow anything else he cares to throw their way, even if it's only some additional money for those who already have enough of it.
I'm going to say something that will definitely raise some hackles on Republicans' necks:
The free enterprise system is not free anymore. It supports those who will ruthlessly pursue the almighty dollar at the expense of us ordinary taxpayers who must struggle to balance our budgets.
I personally know people who think that billionaires are some of the world's most charming people, who have shed their own sweat and blood to earn vast amounts of money--highly moral people who would never commit a crime or disadvantage an innocent in order to make a buck.
What a load of pestilential crap.
