So, apparently the next thing the Repubs plan to do for the victims |
|
of Katrina is to vote on the repeal of the Estate Tax?
Is this terrible giveaway to billionaire babies really going to take place?

3. Are Democatic Senators Going To Stand Up And Speak Out? |
|
Where is the outrage?
1,000's are dead, perhaps 10,000's. 100,000's are homeless, perhaps for months. Where is the outrage? Where is the anger? Does our party stand for ANYTHING?

4. and don't forget the inability to declare bankruptcy, |
|
Not to mention the many new hoops they'll have to jump through to collect any cash from the "new" FEMA.
It ain't like no hurricane in Florida...different strokes for different "folks."

7. The Democrats tried, but failed |
|
to pass a bill earlier this week which would exempt victims of Katrina from the Bankruptcy Law. The Republicans, of course, voted it down.

Big ass tax cuts for the wealthy that blows all the Clinton surplus and his balanced budget and starts the deficit machine again--now its in high gear.
Put up,bullshit War thats now up to almost $$200 BILLION with NO end in sight for that money pit.
Big ass tax cuts AGAIN for the wealthy--this time in the form of ZERO estate tax--never mind that next year you can inherit 2-4 MILLION completely tax FREE,thats not good enough for Chimp. Nope,4 million is chicken shit money for the kind of people he runs with. Total tab for the estate tax give away? Experts say ONE TRILLION over the next ten years.
So..where does that leave us? broken levees,thousands and thousands dead and about a million homeless. Wonder how many rich fucks in New Orleans voted for this GD administration??
