28. Bush is a moron
and doesn't realize what he is saying 1/2 the time, just like more Republicans that don't know shit about economics and true fair taxation.

as for your "knowledgable in economics" line, i'll ignore that and attempt to debate on the issue, should you care to continue showing me your "superior knowledge"... To date, your example of the "simply not buying the product" and "competition" misses the entire point and argument, doesn't refute the facts in the least, and attempts a typical taxation ploy that doesn't wash. Feel free to try again, if you'd like.
