The second article is more rabble-rousing. The first one points out the policy considerations. I don't really give a **** about politicians' personal lifestyle choices.

It speaks to the ridiculous hypocracy of it all, though, which the first article also mentions. And the politicos are just a reflection of the nation at large. People whining about gas prices whilst driving SUVs. Boo ****ing hoo.

Arrian: I say that we propose a "hardship tax credit" for them in that case....the flip side of the "windfall tax", is it not?
In this way, we remove all risk from any business venture, and strip away any significant reward as well.
This should speed the destruction of the US economy nicely.
