I know you progressives think that whats yours is yours and what's mine is yours but sadly this is a country where I can petition my representatives to take back what the progressives have stolen from me and other hardworking tax payers. This is one reason Bush was elected in the first place.
Remember the tax cuts? I'll be pushing for more after this Mt. Hood fiasco. ;-)
