Republicans like corporations and "the wealthy" to pay less income
taxes.


Interesting, most of Obama's cabinet were caught with "mistakes" on their
returns.


The next question is why exactly they do so. Maybe it is because they
like downtrodden people? Or maybe it is accidental? Or, perhaps, maybe
it is because Republicans get donations from those wealthy people?


Interesting, do you know that Wall Street donated to Democrats by
something like a 4-to-1 ratio? *The falacy is that the "wealthy" are
Republicans when the fact is the "wealthy" are largely Democrats.


Wall Street goes with the winner, and they're smart enough to realize it
would be a Democrat that would win in 2008.

You can look up the final figures if you're interested, but as of Mar. 2008,
it looked like this, counting the securities and investment industry; their
employees; and their PACs:

Clinton: $6.29 million
Obama: 6.03 million
McCain: 2.59 million

But they don't care which party the winner is coming from; they just want to
be on board with the winner. Here's how it's looked in other recent
presidential elections:

2004:

Bush: $8.8 million
Kerry: 4.3 million

2000:

Bush: $4.0 million
Go 1.4 million

They're neither Democrats nor Republicans. What they are is Winners -- or
whores, as you prefer.

Don't be blinded by your bias.


And don't be blinded by yours, Tom.
