--- talk radio conservative phonecallers usually say "it's *my* money."
Here one liberal radio talkshow host's 2000 & current reply to that. "...Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society_ roads, infrastucture, public eduacation, water supply ...etc and...we hwelp those *unable* to help themselves."
I know some people in the disabled community. There's a range. Some ,might never work again, some have slowly started to work {maybe parttime at first} after rehab, and some are seardching for, or doing educational work into what kind og jobs they can/might want to do now.
Between those folks, the poor {working or not}, 'minorities', working class/blue collar workers, the uninsured, peeople on Social Security alone... Many were worried in 2000, now they are *really fearful* if Bush gets 'elected again'.
I begged the few greens I met in 2000, not to do this {vote Nader}. I beg you Now not to vote for him!
Yes, I am a Democrat {i have supported/voted for 2 liberal Republicans in my life Mayor Lindsay and Sen Charles Goodel {they were more liberal on certain important issue then my Democtrats counterparts}. And *YES* it was
sure embaressing to see Gore lose in his Homestate!
But *in Florida* if somewhere between 1% - 3% of all nader votes had voted for Gore we'd be a partially differnt USA today in ways *that really count*!
There are smallish changes that are creeping up around in society, for instance there are some Comapanies and newer Corporations that *do*
treat their employees like treasured assets and *not like easily* replaceable, disposable Liabilities
This corp change mentioned above came about alot through the Holistic/New Age movement, which has been unfairly, alot of the time--labeled as just 'navel-gazers' etc but had/s in places over the past 15 yrs turned outwaur at society and it's problems.
any way, I'M THINKING OF VOTING FOR eDWARDS IN OUR nyc {SUPER TUES} PRIMARY... ALOT OF TALKING TO DO WITH FRIENDS OVER THE WEEKEND!
sorry --pinky slip { ihave to look down at the keyboard, not at screen to typr fast/alot}
