Let the Poor Pay for Missiles in Space?

Since Mr. Bush is hell-bent to keep cutting taxes for the rich, I guess the rest of us will have to pay for the huge jump in space missile defense spending he wants.

Wait? Did you just ask why? Did you happen to suggest that most of the tests on what was known as Star Wars has shown it to be a collosal failure for all but the wallets of fat-cat military industrialists? Did you say, "Well, missiles in space would not have stopped anything that happened on 9-11?" Did you have the nerve to wonder, couldn't this money be spent better elsewhere, such as on health care to keep America healthier or for schools to educate the next generation who'll have to pay a LOT of Mr. Bush's debt?

The nerve of you!
