				<p><strong>Economic disaster</strong></p><p>In a full fledged global economic disaster, which we are now in the midst of, any new tax on anything will not last long.</p><p>
Real job loss statistics and inflation numbers are finally breaking through the venier of factual manipulation that government has wrought. &nbsp;Unemployment and inflation metrics designed to leave out most of the most important data to paint a rosey picture.</p><p>
It's the economy...despite mass delusional media claims that fear of terrorism and race and gender are the most important social and political considerations. &nbsp;</p><p>
If the voters think that either party is ignoring the crisis in family economics, job loss, foreclosure and bankruptcy, in favor of anything else. &nbsp;</p><p>
on the GOP side, wars on terror (for oil, that make gasoline ever more expensive) to benefit other countries, like Iraq, and contractors like Halliburton.</p><p>
Or place economic health behind electing the first black or woman president. &nbsp;On the democratic side.</p><p>
They will simply boycott this election. </p><p>
Proposing more taxes on anything in this climate of family economic disaster is political suicide.
