    Default I finally understand the democrates tax plan!

    If you don't understand the Democrats' version of tax cuts (and you are not alone), maybe this will help explain it:

    50,000 people go to a baseball game, but the game was rained out. A refund was then due.
    The team was about to mail refunds when the Congressional Democrats stopped them and suggested that they send out refund amounts based on the Democrat National Committee's interpretation of fairness.
    After all, if the refunds were made based on the price each person paid for the tickets, most of the money would go to the ticket holders of the most expensive tickets. That would be unfair and unconscionable.
    People in the $10 seats will get back $15, because they have less money to spend. Call it an "Earned Income Ticket Credit." Persons "earn" it by demonstrating little ambition, few skills and poor work habits, thus keeping them at entry-level wages.
    People in the $25 seats will get back $25, because that's only fair.
    People in the $50 seats will get back $1, because they already make a lot of money and don't need a refund. After all, if they can afford a $50 ticket, then they must not be paying enough taxes.
    People in the $75 luxury seats will have to pay another $50, because they have way too much to spend.
    The people driving (or walking) by the stadium who couldn't afford to watch the game will get $10 each, even though they didn't pay anything in, because they need the most help (sometimes known as Affirmative Action!).
    Now do you understand?
    If not, contact Representative Nancy Pelosi, Senator Ted Kennedy or Senator Hillary Clinton for assistance.

    You left out the people who snuck into the stadium to sit in seats already purchased by ticket holders. Under the Democrats (and George W. Bush) they will be made season ticket holders permanently even though they don't root for the home team.

    I have understood it for a long time the poblem is how many idiots that are working people think "They are for us". Try to tell one of those morons that they are not for anybody but a POS crack whore living on welfare. Good luck. [diss]

    I know hope when I look over the assembled people here and a few other places on the internet.

    Wow! That is a great way of putting it. Now if we could just get the Government out of baseball, we might be OK. I watched the SOTU address for about 4 seconds (my normal attention span) and couldn't decide who I disliked more, Shrub, Pelosi or Haliburton. I turned on Dallas SWAT, much more entertaining.
