[DMCForum] Re: A good book for those of you with children...

["Mike" <mcquinlan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It is funny to me the liberal/conservative stereotypes that 
persist.  Didn't the last tax hike come from the Republicans and 
didn't the largest surplus in history come from the Democrats.  I 
know the conservatives will argue that Clinton's surplus was a 
result of Bush.  If you do that however you need to say that Bush 
tax hike came from Regan.

The Republicans always tout being for smaller government but in 
reality, the government has never EVER gotten smaller and some of 
the largest increases were under Republican rule.

Isn't it time we give up the liberal/conservative fight and shake 
things up a bit.  If nothing else, it will scare the 
liberals/conservatives into paying attention to what is really 
important.  I'm not suggesting we vote for Nader either.

If your going to try to start forming your nieces political bent you 
should get the follow up book, "Tommy and Lou lobby Washington".

Tommy and Lou, despite the Liberal government's attempts to crush 
any economic growth, turn "God's Lemons Inc."  into an International 
mega corporation.  They find that they could increase profits by 
1.2% if they move the operation to India.  The Republican's now in 
office give Tommy and Lou millions of taxpayers' dollars as 
incentives to move the overseas.  Tommy and Lou's town of Happy 
Ville is decimated by the job vacuum that is created.  Happy Ville, 
a once thriving and productive town is now an economic wasteland.  
The mom and pop shops that lived off the wealth of lemon workers are 
gone too.  Tommy and Lou now face new obstacles as Argentina begins 
to put the squeeze on Lemon prices.  Suddenly Tommy and Lou see 
profits eroding as Argentina increases the price of exported Lemons 
while the Argentinean economy flounders.  Tommy and Lou travel to 
Washington to Lobby their cause.  The high cost for a gallon of 
Lemonade has become a political liability for the current 
administration.  Troops are sent to Argentina to protect American 
interests.  All Hell breaks loose and a full out war ensues.  Over 
the next ten years the U.S. gets mired in war that drains the 
economy and creates more government growth than seen in decades 
past.  Spending on defense skyrockets, thousands of America lives 
are lost and debt that Tommy and Lou's children's children will be 
paying of has crippled economic growth.  Tommy and Lou now reflect 
on how they got to where they are.  They now realize that the blame 
belongs in one place...the overpriced swing set manufacturer.
