It is only brother Jeb Bush's Florida political aspirations that might keep Dubya from lifting the ban on oil drilling along California's coast. If he can't advocate it in Florida in order to preserve his brother's political future, then he can't advocate it in California, either. It is our only hope. Dubya doesn't believe the scientists, unless they are saying something that is good for the business community. He's too dumb to understand the science, so he relies on political philosophy instead.
Stupid ideologues are the most frightening kind.
Business does just fine on its own. It is the people who feed those businesses, with their labor, with their money, with their obedience, and with their brand-loyalty that need the protection. They are obviously well protected from taxes. I paid nearly three tenths of my income to the government in 2000. I don't advocate lower taxes.
