Domestic agenda for second Bush term (be very afraid)
The news media certainly hasn't been giving this any attention, but if you've been listening to Bush, this is what he will try to do at home if he gets a second term:

Regressive taxation - shift the tax burden to the middle and working class by instituting a national consumption/sales tax and phasing out taxes on income/assets.

Privatizating Social Security - replace social security with a system that will see the biggest windfall go to portfolio managers.


The far right has their eyes on this election as their best chance to dismantle the New Deal and eliminate the tax obligations of the upper class.

We have to get the message out.
