Hey GW… Time to pony up.
I think it is high time for our friends at the highest reaches of government to “share in the sacrifice.”
George, Dick, Don, and Condaleeza got us into this mess.
Thousands of soldiers and marines are on their third or fourth tour of duty in Iraq, more than three thousand have made the ultimate sacrifice, around twenty thousand have been maimed, and the US taxpayer is pouring billions of dollars down a rathole.
I am getting a little tired of listening to this smug, complacent bunch of fools driving around in armored limousines surrounded by Secret Service agents talking about how they “feel the pain” of our injured troops, widows and orphans, and the public in general.
Let’s see some real sacrifice… Collectively the Gang of Four is worth tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars. I think its time to pony up. I’d like to see the Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rice fortunes donated to US Treasury. Let ‘em keep a million dollars a piece to supplement their lavish government and corporate pensions but let’s use the rest to pay for this debacle they’ve jointly created. Even with all their millions it will just be a drop in the bucket… But, hey, it’s the thought that counts.
