well said, there is a tremendous difference between the dems definition of wealthy and mine. Also, your point on NC taxes is dead on. Prior to Pataki's ill advised tax increase in '03, NC taxes were higher than NY, now they are about the same. NY's property taxes are still much higher, of course. But the point is, Bush put money in all of our pockets, whether they want to admit it or not.
As for the thread topic, that is a pathetic result if the stats are accurate. No vote, no right to complain IMO.
