		<description>True enough, my friend. I know that you&#039;ve mentioned that before, and it deserves mentioning again  Ridiculous that the media isn&#039;t touching on that, as well? Now, the question is:
How can we fix it?  Robin-hooding economics could work (but then, economics isn&#039;t one of my strengths) as those who make more have more to be taxed, while those who make less have less to be taxed.  What would you suggest?</description>

		<description>Locke,

Then we have doublespeak here in lefty land.  For instance, we hear from the &quot;progressives&quot; that the poor are paying a disproportionately HIGH rate of taxes, and yet we know (from the official IRS website) that the poorest 20 percent of Americans pay ZERO income taxes, and the next highest 20% actually get back more than they pay in!  In effect, they pay LESS THAN ZERO percent income taxes.

Now THAT, my friend, is doublethink.</description>

		<description>And WHY isn&#039;t anyone calling him on this?  We sit back and say, &quot;Yeah, so what else is new?&quot; instead of throwing fits, exclaiming, &quot;MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND!&quot;  The press can SO make him squirm with a few well placed questions:
&quot;Mr. Bush.  How can you support a free democratic election and one that is opposition-free at the same time?&quot; could be one of them.  Oh, that&#039;s right:

&quot;Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one&#039;s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.&quot;
