To which you said:

That is exactly the point. When more people are on the receiving end than the giving end of government, then we have reached the point of full-fledged Socialism. Hence, the tyranny of the majority over the minority and the major flaw of any Democracy.

Excuse me, Spall, but the 78% cited in that poll were for debt reduction, not tax relief. Therefore, if you'd like to equate the have-nots as being more fiscally responsible than the haves, I'm all for it. LOL

Bush loves making the case that "it's not the government's money, it's the people's money." The people have spoken and said "yes, it's our money, and it's also our debt, not the government's debt, and we want to start paying it down."

BTW, quite a few of the top 1% income earners have also come out against the tax cuts for the wealthy, especially the death tax. Among them are Waren Buffet and Bill Gates.
