A Tax Holiday to Nowhere
newsweek.com — Hillary Clinton has joined John McCain in proposing the most irresponsible policy idea of the year: suspending the federal gas tax this summer. Both of them know it's a terrible pander, and yet they're pushing it anyway for crass political advantage. The goal is to depict Barack Obama as an out-of-touch elitist, by any means necessary.

Anyone earning millions upon millions of dollars is elitist. Let's face it Shillary's 110 million isn't exactly chump change. The whole election as process of, um, democracy is joke. But then I'm just cynical...

Anyone who makes a legitimate run at the presidency today is going to be wealthy and educated. Hillary and Obama both have law degrees and money, yet Hillary represents blue collar Americans and Obama doesn't? Doesn't make much sense.

Also we should have soda in the drinking fountains and no school on Fridays.
