Well, if I had the money that Cheney had, I could say that, too.

But 98% of the American people do NOT have his wealth.

Considering how he has earned most of his money - on the backs and the lives of who knows how many thousands or millions of people - it is mostly dirty money, anyway.

And of course this recent economic 'slow down' has NOTHING to do with.........the $12 BILLION we are borrowing every month to pay for the war in Iraq.....or the $400 MILLION we are paying each month in interest......or the $10 TRILLION deficit that this Administration has racked up.

But according to Cheney this slowdown "might have been worse had Bush not enacted tax cuts in 2001 and 2003."

******SARCASM ALERT******

And let's not forget that the US Economy is "the envy of the world" because...... the dollar's value has NEVER been stronger......US investments in foreign Companies and 'States' has never been higher......the US trade deficit has never been smaller.......new home construction is at an all time high.......and the tax burden on the ENTIRE population is the lowest rates in the world (while giving the best service for that money).
