Yes, Greendreams-- the ruling class-- W&#39s base --- the haves and the have mores! Its gotten to where a Republican president spends his time in office granting favors to the big donors, giving the rich tax break after tax break, and allowing corporate lobbyists to write the policy that "regulates" their industry. The voters get royally screwed-which is why Bush&#39s popularity is 27%.

Compare that to Obama&#39s 81%!

The other thing he tried very hard to do, and almost did, was create a permanent American aristocracy that included him and all his rich friends. The combination of eliminating capital gains tax and the estate tax would mean that he and his friends would never pay a dime to support America as long as they never actually worked, and then could pass on the family wealth tax free so generation after generation of rich white men could enjoy a free ride on our dime.
