wait, who's politicizing what now? i'm confused
a man who runs a think tank for a living - i.e., devotes his life to the game of politics - is worried about people politicizing. people be politicizing, he says. (you wanna know who's behind the slashing of funding for any and all levees? think about it this way: he's kissinger, and the levees are cambodia.)

Re: [Estate] Tax Repeal/Katrina
In light of this week’s tragic hurricane in Louisiana, some politicians have suggested that tax cuts in general and [etate] tax repeal specifically should not move forward. ...Opponents of permanent repeal of the [Estate] Tax are attempting to exploit this tragedy to put off a vote. ...boilerplate anti-tax propaganda...
And higher levels of economic growth is exactly what the residents of the Gulf Region need at this time to start the rebuilding process for their neighborhoods and more importantly for their lives."
Right, the residents, not the refugees. The residents wih the estates. The estates over $1.5 million. (Ask again lin four years - the time between 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina - and it's the estates over $3.5 million.) They're the ones who need the help. Let's rebuild with them first, and God willing, that will trickle all the way down to the flooded city of New Orleans. Someday.
