I guess I'll say it again: The rich get richer and the poor get poorer!
I don't object to their having it. And I would be perfectly happy being in that 1%

What I object to is the constant tax cuts to them that Bush feels is necessary to keep the country going. Obviously, he's putting us deeper and deeper into debt. The 1% keeps getting the taxes cut. Who do we think is going to paying for all this?
