We were told how Sadam took the peoples money and used it
so that he and all his croanies could live the good life.
And we felt sorry for the people of Iraq and wondered how
could the people continue to put him in office.
The american people did bascically the same thing when they
put bush back in office. He took social security money,
which is the peoples money, and used it to fund his programs
which gave his rich croanies big tax breaks. He inherited
a huge surplus of money and no defficit. The surplus is
gone and we have a huge deficit. The people in Iraq are
looking at this country and saying the same thing we said
about them. How could they put this dictator back in office. Denial, Denial, Denial.

America is a country whose poor and middle class
