The "Center for Public Integrity" has estimated that there are approx. 25,000 lobbyists working in Washington D.C. (Odd, but I thought that American Democracy belonged to ALL the people; not just those who can afford lobbyists!) They also have discovered that at least 850 American Oil & energy companies have "Off-shore" headquarters; OBVIOUS ploys to avoid paying American taxes!!!! (Guess who "makes-up-the-difference"???) It is no wonder that "George" cannot "do-the-math" regarding casuaties in Iraq; he hasn't been able to "do-the-math" regarding OUR ECONOMY!!! He has justified the killing of 12,000 Iraqi and 1000 Americans with vague references to " a war on terror" and mentions of 9-11 (where 2300+) people died) The numbers JUST DON'T "ADD-UP"! I have also learned that George W. spends $130,000 annually to belong to a Florida "Country-Club"..... Isn't that MOST OF WHAT HE EARNS AS PRESIDENT??? I guess that we can all "identify" with him; don't we ALL spend more than $100 Grand to play golf??? He's truly a "Man-of-the people"!!! Dave
