> I can't believe people are whining about taxes when there's things that are about a billion times more important to worry about.

People are short-sighted and stupid. They think it can't happen to them and that only criminals need fear a loss of rights and only seem to care about how much money they will get next year. Basically, this election will come down to one thing: if the economy improves Bush will get re-elected, if it doesn't he won't. And that is such a sad indication of how screwed up this country is.
