A recent report by Rep. Henry Waxman showed by means of statistics showed just how much the elite of the rich can expect to profit off of Bush’s new tax cuts. In the same vein, according to the report, the average citizen will gain no more than a good $20. We really need to send [...]

Earlier this month, The New Yorker published an extensive article on the chickenhawk brigade’s very selective use of faith based intelligence.
