Unlike many, esspecially Republicans these days, I don't have contradictory stances. The US has an obligation to help countries in need AND prevent all occurances of genocide or massive human abuse, as well as all threats to our soil. In our modern world, though, neither should be done unilaterally, and ESSPECIALLY not controdicting the will of the non-American world. What alot of people are pissy about is the definition currently before both action or inaction, as Bush declares threats where most independant investigators declare none, ignores genocide unless it's in a "terrorist" nation where he bleeds the shit outta it, and then does little to help most nations in need.
Independant Investigators declared that Iraq as a
Threat was nearly non-existant, and that Iraq as a
Tyranny was mild at best compared to countless others. Iran is higher threat, lower tyranny, but it's still the same ol' song and dance with the Repubbies claiming everything short of the Iotola is Satan on Earth to motivate the easily manipulated.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, back on topic: The tax burden of the rich is larger now than before because the income gap greatly widened. They're making more and the poor and middle class are making less. The Democrats already came out with that and shot-down this issue, only the uninformed, clueless, or mindlessly fanatic still believe this shows any ounce of being progressive. the REAL percents that matter isn't the "total tax burden", but the "percent of income paid in taxes".
