campaign comments

It is good to see residents passionate about their politics, and political choices. The facts sometimes suffer in the heat of that passion tho. We have had a progressive tax system for the last century, and is based on the ideas of Teddy Roosevelt, whom McCain says is one of his idols. Those who make more have ALWAYS been asked to pay more. Socialism is when the government takes over big banks or big businesses, like the Republicans have just done in the past month, with Lehman Bros, AIG, etc. etc. Are the Republicans saying they LIKE socialism when it bails their greedy corporate butts out, but DONT like it when it gives the average guy a break? How convenient, not to mention self-serving and hypocritical.
