    I'll never understand why a man like Rangel is a dem.

    Unlike Kerry and Murtha's murky military service, Rangel saw much combat during the Korean war, and it is well documented.

    So it baffles me. This lunatic "Tax program" of his.

    I'm glad I have equity, as I see dark economic weather on the horizon if the dems pass this program.

    I think to get those needed numbers of tax dollars, they should repeal Ammendment 16, and institute a National Retail Sales Tax.

    There is another election in 2008 and then one in 2010.

    Last time I checked, they come before 2011...
