Here is a novel solution, since so many of you liberals like to hark on about us conservatives and Republicans supporting the war in Iraq, how about we pay for that, while liberals and Democrats can continue to fund the War on Poverty.

Of course it's a misnomer to describe any attempt to close the disparity in income between rich and poor as a "war".

The only real way to narrow the gap is through higher taxation and more social welfare. Even that would only lead to an ever expanding "welfare class" content to rely on others to support them.

Nonetheless, I don't think it's wise for you uncaring conservatives and Republicans to cock a snook at the poor. There, but for the Grace of God, go you or I.
