heh .. good one Ira .. The DNC is like Robin Hood with an agenda.
The agenda is to benefit Robin and the merry band of thieves.
Unfortunately, the GOP has taken the past 8 years as an opportunity to do
absolutely nothing except get involved in some new sex scandal. The
founding fathers stated after signing the Declaration of Independence,
"we have just created the best government in the world and can only
hope the American people have the good sense to over-throw it every 100
years or so". We are considerably over-due.

Subj: Democratic Tax Return
-
- If you don't understand the
Democrats' version of tax refunds, perhaps this will help explain
it:
- 50,000 people went to a
baseball game, but the game was rained out. A refund was then due.
- The team was about to
mail refunds when a group of Congressional Democrats stopped them and
suggested that they send out the ticket refunds based on the Democrat
National Committee's interpretation of fairness.
- Originally the refunds
were to be paid based on the price each person had paid for the tickets.
Unfortunately that meant most of the refund money would be going to the
ticket holders that had purchased the most expensive tickets. This,
according to the DNC, is considered totally unfair. A decision was then
made to pay out the refunds in this manner:
- People in the $10 seats
will get back $15. After all, they have less money to spend on tickets to
begin with. Call it an "Earned Income Ticket Credit." Persons
"earn" it by having few skills, poor work habits, and low
ambition, thus keeping them at entry-level wages.
- People in the $25 seats
will get back $25, because it "seems fair."
- People in the $50 seats
will get back $1, because they already make a lot of money and don't need
a refund. After all, if they can afford a $50 ticket, they must not be
paying enough taxes.
- People in the $75 luxury
box seats will each have to pay an additional $25 because it's the
"right thing to do".
- People walking past the
stadium that couldn't afford to buy a ticket for the game each will get a
$10 refund, even though they didn't pay anything for the tickets. They
need the most help. Sometimes this is known as Affirmative Action.
- Now do you
understand?
- If not, contact Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, Senator Ted Kennedy or Senator Hillary Clinton for
assistance.
