Everything I need to know about politics,

I learned from a very famous philosopher and poet, Marky Mark. It was a stroke of political genius when Marky Mark and his Funky Bunch pronounced that "I'm a get mine so get yours." Ahh, the insight and inspiration this has provided many a politician.

I had been trying my hand at political vacations when the vision of Marky Mark came to me and uttered that moving phrase. I even cut my vacation short when I heard that my fantasy team was getting it's ass kicked and flew in to check the carnage for myself.

I partly joke, but it sounds like a political statement to me. All the President's men started White House damage control before they focused on hurricane damage control. The president remained quiet for a couple days and made it sound like a huge sacrifice to cut his vacation short. Democrats jumped on attacking the President and offered little true support for the victims for several days. They were all getting theirs.

In Supreme Court nominations, weak liberals and Democrats are getting theirs handed back to them. They didn't think of the ramifications of losing the election for the country. They were only thinking about getting theirs. They wanted to win or some Dems voted for Bush because they wanted to be safe. Neither got what they wanted and we are all getting shit on because of it.

Supporters of the Right to Choose deserve to have Roe v. Wade overturned.

Liberals and Progressives also deserve to see wealth redistributed to the top and away from those in need. Make no mistake that is what Bush's and conservative tax plans are. They say they are opposed to redistribution of wealth, but that is exactly what they do. They think that if the wealthy can get theirs, then the poor can also. Why not help out those who have gotten theirs so that those who haven't become inspired to do so. It is not a logical argument, but many Americans buy the every man for himself philosophy.

Politicians also talk about the ownership society. They just get it wrong. They think that people who have managed to become owners of property and wealth should have a larger say in what goes on.

I also believe in an ownership society but I see it as owning some of the responsibility for the society. I figure that if we all take responsibility for the society as a whole, we will all benefit. Goes along with my "blow up" economics theory of giving tax breaks to the poor and it working it's way through the markets to the wealthy or "owners".

I think that is enough thinking and philosophizing for the day. I have to slowly work my brain out of vacation mode and don't want to go too fast and get a cramp.
