Does the Dem tax budget really seek only to raise taxes on the rich?

The problem is for the Democrats, the term rich is fluid. YOu can't generate a large income from relying on the rich. There aren't enough rich to actually effect anything. What happened is that they redefine the rich to include the middle cl. The poor are willing to go a long with this theory, because it' s not them and the politicians use the jealosy of the poor to attack the middle cl. England did a study and found those less fortunate has a habit of trying to damage the income of those more fortunate even at a loss for themselves. A while back, before I recieve any benefits at work , I looked at how much taxes was deducted. I found over half my income went to taxes. This includes state, social security and Federal as well as others. I am far from being rich too. I worked for the feds and part of the problem is corruption and abuse. I talked to some Democrats in politics and they would scream at how corrupt Bush was. I of course did not disagree, but they would tell me taht we need to spend a lot more money on infrastructure. I told them , that Bush was still President, and if we increase spending , even more money would be lost in corruption. I was flabbergasted that their response was , "so what". Money which exchange hands, even if through illegal means still increase the GNP, and that is how some see it. I had a friend who worked in a federal program which gives out free vaccinations. Very few vaccinations were handed out, and most of the vaccines was dumped. No one knows of this program. My umption was that the money spent on the vaccines was just to make drug companies rich and that they hide this program so those who needs the vaccines would end up buying it, making the drug companies richer. The point of the story is , that the Democrats only have these social programs to make corporations rich. Like government cheese was to help the dairy industry rather than help the people. Neither parties are accountable to the people. I agree the Democrats has no desire to get out of the war. They want to prolong the war to gain votes and increase hostilities towards the Republicans.
