The Rich Are Just Like You and I

Just had to pass along this bit from a May 17, 2003 New York Times article about the how the Bush propaganda team strives to manipulate its media images:

"On Tuesday, at a speech promoting his economic plan in Indianapolis, White House aides went so far as to ask people in the crowd behind Mr. Bush to take off their ties, WISH-TV in Indianapolis reported, so they would look more like the ordinary folk the president said would benefit from his tax cut."

Can you believe the government thinks we're so stupid that by simply asking rich people to take off their ties they can fool working stiffs into believing the Bush tax cuts don't overwhelmingly favor the wealthy? Ummm....we're not that stupid, are we?

C'mon people, get angry! Say no to these tax cuts that help the rich get richer while deepening the government's neglect of our schools, our libraries, our environment, our retirement, our economy...of our very future.
