As a recipient of some dunning letters in my time, I think you need to work on the tone a little. Ahem.

To even think that President Bush may favor the rich means you want Osama bin Laden to win. After all, where would OBL be without all that money to support him from Saudi Arabia. Oh. Now I get it.

Oh. Now I get it.

The less taxes we take in, the more it pays us. Hey I've got the solution! We not only reduce the taxes to nothing, but we have the government pay us, like a negative tax. That will make so much money that we will all be millionaires. Why didn't I think of this earlier? Wow, this is so cool, I'll be a millionaire. Fer sure man, wow a millionaire. Wow. OK, let me get this straight.

He seems to be copying everything else his Dad did. The way things are going, I really think he should be lining up people to help him move. If you wait to late, they'll all have something to do that weekend. The ultimate irony would be if the son of “Read my lips: no new taxes” was forced to increase taxes.

We'll never get out of debt now. Them elves require a lot of upkeep. Just ask Santa. “THEY PAY FOR THEMELVES”

Among other reasons is that W has to out-do his daddy, didn't you know? He took out Saddam, which his daddy never did, he cut taxes and hasn't raised 'em, which his daddy had to do, and he won't make his daddy's mistake of neglecting re-election merely to make the government work -- no, he certainly won't do that. So, no tax raise, no tax reinstatement, no sunset for his tax law, no sirree, Bob! Not even if the deficit reaches $700 Billion (which it has, if you include the Social Security Trust Fund "borrowing" he's been doing, which is the only way to compare his time in office to Saint Ronnie's blessed reign) and the country is going to the dogs. No, no fact of life will intrude into his faith-based alternate reality, you can count on that. Ed No way that W is going to do what his daddy did and raise taxes!
