If we cannot afford to pay our credit card bill, the credit industry suffers.
If we cannot afford to pay our mortgage, the housing industry suffers.
If we cannot afford to buy a new car, the auto industry suffers.
If we cannot afford to pay our cable bill, the telecom industry suffers.
If we cannot afford to take a trip, the transportation industry suffers.

When the MIDDLE CLASS suffers, the world's markets suffer. When we lose our jobs, we stop paying our bills and also stop fueling the world's economy.
So, why do we want to give huge tax breaks to corporations and the rich?

Do they pay our credit card bills?
Do they pay our mortgages?
Do they buy new cars?
Do they pay the cable bills?
Do they go to Disney World

All of the trouble in the world markets, along with the fact that the current Presidential campaign has been going since the day after GWB was sworn in for a second term, tells me that NEO_CONSERVATISM_DOESNT_WORK!!! (ie Voodoo Economics and Trickle Down...)
