So the truly rich don't care about tax cuts, at least not income tax cuts. And, "rich people" (defined by me as "I am unemployed and I still have a six-figure income, indefinitely") are more likely to be Democrats. About 60/40. Trustafarian? Most likely a dem.
High income people skew more Republican, but not overwhelmingly so. They're the one paying 80%+ of all income taxes so you'd expect them to like income tax cuts. But they're still 1/3 or more dems, perhaps because AMT insures tax-cuts go to people in low-tax (mostly red) states. Weisberg's contention that Democratic Senate victories mark the revival of economic nationalism brought this response from Degsme: The cat has long been out of the bag on economic nationalism. The USA has to import too many resources to realistically shut down significant amounts of trade (bauxite, sulpher, oil, lumber, programmers, GPs).

BSNL on the blink
More than 40 per cent of patients treated at the camps at various slums and villages took to drugs again in the absence of any rehabilitation programme, said Dr B.S. Chavan, head, department of psychiatry, GMCH. The number of relapse in the cases of drug addicts treated at the GMCH was as high as 70 per cent within a year, he added. The department was focussing on the youth between the age group of 12 and 20 years at present. They would be given vocational training as they neither attended school nor had a job, he said. Because of the social stigma, they also do not find company in the neighbourhood. However, the situation had improved as the relapse of treated drug addicts was 80 per cent until some years ago. There was a vast population of drug addicts in the tricity.
Think before you ink
Roy Geronemus, director of the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York and spokesman for the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. “There's no wavelength of light that will be absorbed by the color. Green is more resistant, too." Tattoos can also be removed with a scalpel and “sanded" off during a treatment called dermabrasion. A new, so-called removable ink called Freedom-2 is being introduced, but many artists are reluctant to create tattoo art that may be considered temporary. “A tattoo is a commitment you make," said Matta of Modern Body. “Removing it is demeaning to the artist." .
Edwards: “Giuliani is Bush on Steroids”
Like Edwards, I blame everything wrong in the world on Ann Coulter's mean comments. Hopefully, if Edwards is elected, to anything, Al Qaeda and anyone who disagrees with him will refrain from saying mean things, too. Mean things hurt John Edwards. Stop him dead in his tracks! This is why I say ….Edwards for IRS Commissioner. .
Councilman MikeK Recalls Knievel Action Figure
The card goes everywhere with me; it's one of my favorite things. Evel was a good person, demonstrated quite recently by the fact that he forgave the rapper Kayne West before he died. I guess that was one of his last acts. "Happy Landings," Evel. RIP/Brent Andrews. .
