Subject: why



my brother was telling me about this thing he saw on tv where this guy did
a sort of survey (i didn't see it so i don't know the details), asking
poor to middle class republicans why they support a gov. that taxes them
so much and not the rich.  basically, they said that it was because they
were convinced that someday they would also be rich, get sucked right up
into that american dream, i guess, and when that happened, they wanted the
system to protect those millions of dollars that they would then have.
preparing for their future, so to speak.  apparently, optimism is what's
taking us down...
