*Ahem*... what the Republicans OR Democrats in Congress WERE doing
is IRRELEVANT.  Willie promised NOT TO RAISE TAXES and to CUT TAXES
for the middle class.  If Willie implements this tax, Willie will have
LIED AGAIN (for the umpteen millionth time).  

Or are you gonna give us that line about: No one holds Willie to
anything he promised in the campaign? (Polls now indicate the public
expects him to live up to ALL of them!)

Besides, do you really think I'd support this tax if some Republicans
in Congress wanted it?  *NOT*
