Everyone has sacrificed, US Troops have big time, the Iraqi People big time, the US Taxpayer huge time,

but Contractors got rich and Iraq’s Government sacrificed only by carrying heavy bags of US Money.

Got reconciliation, got Oil revenue sharing, Police free of corruption and death squads, got un-baathification, is there any Iraqi Government agency, free of corruption, malfeasance, or graft. Bush and Cheney have sacrificed nothing, not one thing has this present administration sacrificed, except the US Constitution and the Bill of Right’s. They have complete destroyed the Civil liberties we use to enjoy, before Bush fell asleep at the switch on 9/11.

Between Bush & Cheney, the freedom’s we use to enjoyed, have been systematically dictatorially stolen, or signed away and they had plenty of help, from both sides of the isles in Congress and I got screwed in the tax cuts, I can’t even claim myself alone and pay in enough taxes, I have to have extra money taken out each pay period, just to make sure I pay enough… tax cut my behind, I sacrifice everyday, show me where Bush, or Cheney, or Rice, or any Republican, or Democrat in Congress is sacrificing, for the last 7 years, show me.

The US Citizen, the man or woman on the ground, the wage workers of America, they have watched since 2000, Medical benefit’s go up 10% plus each year, while wages have stagnated, the cost of Living, the every day cost of good’s and services, has gone up, State Governments have employed stealth taxes, to make up for huge cut in LGA Funds, the States service fee’s have tripled and quad-druppled, a simple marriage license, that cost $30 bucks back in the 70’s, cost well over a $100 dollars today (MPLS,MN).

The American citizen, has little, to no Savings, and the only involvement in the Stock Market… the Republicans favorite sign to point to for a growing economy, is a Pension if they have one, the new trend is to start new employee’s in a 401k and not offer Pensions.

I see sacrifices all around me, except by the leadership and the rich, they have been recipients of Bush’s Corporate tax give backs, the virtual draining of the United States Surplus and you can’t blame, 9/11… Bush and Republicans, in the last Congress, have hollowed out the Government; they have gutted FEMA and placed it in Home Land Security, a balloted beuaracy of Conservative making, now show me the sacrifice?
