The Term-of-the-Day is "embezzlement"
Edited on Mon Feb-27-06 11:37 AM by Heaven and Earth
"Tax cuts" simply does not describe the true nature of what Bush is doing to the investments American citizens are making in their country.

As you can see from the above story, Americans are paying twice for the same services (in this case, public transportation.) Once to the elitist benificiaries of Bush's ill-gotten gains, then again to actually keep services running.

We all know what happens to embezzlers (ideally). They are prosecuted, and they go to jail.

2. yes
"embezzlement" ... that says it. They are stealing.

But we do not take white collar crime seriously nor do we prosecute it effectively in this country.
