2. Did you see the UNICEF report on the well-being of the child in rich countries?

Edited on Fri Feb-23-07 10:00 AM by lebkuchen

Twenty-one economincally advanced countries were rated, and the US finished...

20th.

The UK was 21st.

"The true measure of a nation's standing is how well it attends to its children--their health and safety, their material security, their education and socialization, and their sense of being loved, valued and included in the families and societies into which they are born."

In other words, the US isn't the greatest country in the world. It's 20th.

5. The $ is a priority to the poor

and it is being drained into Cheney Inc.'s coffers.

Newspapers need to be bombarded with letters criticizing his ass, Molly Ivans-style. Point out the obvious inconsistencies of this administration, so easy to do.

4. This is a crime.

But, Paris Hilton needs a tax cut.

20% of the population can't afford health insurance, But, Britney Spears needs a tax cut.

We used to have a saying back in the late '60s and early '70s.

Eat the rich.
