Everyone knows that the Republicans want to make sure that their rich friends never have to pay taxes again, even as many of them benefit hugely from taxpayer monies in the form of government bailouts and other types of assistance.
The crowning jewel in their scheme: Repealing the estate tax for the rich. Forever. (And if you think that this is a pretty irresponsible thing to do, you'd be right.)
But we can stop this if we act now. Remind people that the entities working to save New Orleans and the Gulf Coast right now aren't corporations, but units of government -- Federal, state and local. Because government, after all, is nothing more and nothing less than the people uniting to help each other in the most effective ways we can find.
