Reply #16: I've followed this all day and what really disturbs me is our Dems..

..lack of saying much more than "it will hurt the poor" (to which idiot Greenspan replied that they can figure out what the poor buy and exempt the stuff). My god, the implications of the 26 to 30% the republicans are proposing (that's right folks)would bring the US economy to it's knees. It would also mean that basically the entire middle class would not be able to afford to live. Why aren't they just in a total outrage about how incredibly deadly it is to the American people. Don't tell me they want some form of it??? About time to get back to taxing rich assholes and corporations------what are they going to do--pack up and move??? These whinny corporations all need their American market share or they would crash. Time to tell them to be good little citizens or we will take the sons of bitches down with us.
