If this economy goes to hell, you can count on businesses folding, too.

If there are people standing in line for food, guess how Marriott, Embassy Suites, Holiday Inn will be doing? The Republican base is more than just the top tier of voters. It's lots of businessmen, and many will get nailed because of these reckless policies.

That's it in a nutshell. Clinton raised taxes on the wealthy, but the economy did so well, there were so many consumers of goods, the market reached over 10K that they were still able to maintain their status and increase their income without feeling the pain of higher taxes. Now that the economy isn't as good, the wealthy are feeling the pain -- hence the tax cuts to pacify the increasing anger over Bush's bungling of the economy. Once Bush loses the business sector, and I'm not talkin about the huge corporate base, but the mom and pop store owners, entrepreneurs, and small business owners, then we will really be sitting pretty.

Drip, drip, drip.....
