1. I think you just coined an apt phrase - let's use it!
Edited on Sat Apr-16-05 01:01 PM by checks-n-balances
It's corporate welfare and now these tax cuts for the rich go more directly into the pockets of individuals. My, we've come a long way since the Gilded Age of Robber Barons, haven't we?

Edit to add: Didn't you mean to say,"Now they can buy control of the manufacture and distribution of all DVDs"?

3. LOL
great term. . .but the thought just occurred to me that you might just want to consider, buying a vowel. . .

"Wealthifare. . ."

Just to better make the association of the extremely divergent purposes of Medicare & Medicade.

6. How come no stories on the wealthy, their tax cuts, 4 years later? You
know... telling us how they are all doing? What they spent it on.

We care about you guys... we know the times are tough.. !:pals: Did the tax cuts help?
