Hell.. you ever get that sinking feeling when you encounter some folks who clearly are unable to take stuff in??

It kinda makes ya lose faith in human nature!
Hi Webby:
The problem with some Americans is they feel that criticising the country, administration, President is in some way anti American. In the 50/60s wereaccused of being a communist for speaking out.

The truth is that asking questions of your leaders is healthy and constructive.

Bush has done an awful job with the US economy and hurt most Americans living standards especially people here. We all rely on the surfer to buy something on the net, so a reduction in the ordinary mans income restricts his ability to buy from us. Most are complaining of a slow down in business, how much of that can be contributed to the ordinary man just having less to spend on his pleasures?

Give a bllionaire a million dollars and he is as likely to buy a new house in Paris as he is in New York. Give a million working men $100 and they are more likely to buy memberships to a porn site or tickets to the cinema. The money given to working people stays in the country. Unfortunately the working man does not contribute to the re-election funds and Presidents wealth.
