"Hey, you're ANTI-LIFE!"

What's your reaction to that? For me, incredulity. It's preposterous to say I'm anti-life.

I'm getting tired of calling them "tax cuts," because too many people think that's a good thing. Anyone have a better title that more accurately reflects what giant tax giveaways actually do to the national economy? Anyway, there goes $140,000,000,000 of "our money."
