   Actually, it sounds like *both* of the tax-subsidized political parties!
Both work diligently to take money out of the pockets of the lower and middle
classes, and those wealthy who came by their money on the market, and put
it into the pockets of their friends -- those who can pay $10,000 to
have breakfast with Lloyd Bentsen, who can buy a truckload of Jim
Wright's autobiography, who cozy up to a fast-and-loose attorney general
like Ed Meese.  Neither of these government-sponsored parties want an
level economic playing field.
