Don't think that what we are taxed is what we see taken out of our paycheck. We are taxed every time we buy something from a company that is taxed. We are taxed when the deficit removes value from our money (and of our grandchildren's money). But it *does* make a difference how it is spent. (The difference between parties in practice isn't how much they spend, it's how they spend that much). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
