What to Expect in a Tax Rebate It is clear that people in power construct legislation to support those that got them there. Few should be surprised that Republicans design their legislation to advantage the more affluent members of society. House Republican's are particularly focused on this issue.

Good politicians try to prevent their own oxen from being gored.
The question is should reconstruct our policies to target simply a small group of people or attempt to serve the larger interests of the state on the whole. The well-heeled members of our society will fare well no matter what decision we make. It is the less secure citizens who we should be most concerned with. The Ventura Administration will not entertainment any ideas that expand financial rewards for the upper tier bracket. If pushed they may renege on their agreement made last session.
