Before younger people say, "Who the hell cares about Social Security and Medicare? -- I'm never going to be able to collect on either program," they might remember this:
The over-55 generation is a huge voting block. More than that, they have always voted in higher percentages than any other living generation.
So, if Bush can succeed in pulling the safety net out from under that generation, he and his gang will have proven to themselves that they CAN DO THE SAME TO EVERY OTHER GENERATION.
YOU will NOT be safe.
He will cut Pell grants to students (even more than he already has).
He will cut funding to public schools (even more than he already has).
He will cut funding to libraries (even more than he already has)
He will cut funding to inner-city programs for disadvantaged children (even more than he already has)
He will cut funding or tax breaks for childcare (even more than he already has).
He will cut taxes for the wealthy, thereby pushing up the tax costs for the middle-income class (even more than he already has).
He will cut federal funding to the states, forcing the states to cut funding to counties and municipalities -- forcing up property taxes (even more than he already has).
Bush is just getting started in his Remaking Of America Into A Country Of the Rich People, By the Rich People and For the Rich People.
Bush hates sick, overweight, ugly, or poor people; in other words he likes only those people who are just like him -- over-privileged and overpaid.
So, if you aren't wealthy, buffed, over-privileged and over-paid, you are not in his "class" and are a candidate for the Bush Family eugenics program.

you are. I'm printing this out for my sons to pass around at college. It's a group that has to vote and they have to see what's really at stake. Already been telling them about the draft that may be coming. This election could be the most important vote in their lives and for most it will be their first too.
