 Now, THAT, I will agree with. And just as important there are a LOT of 
eople
 (many with more money than sense) that support such a policy.

 I haven't read much about Slade since his attempts a couple years ago to 
 get "means testing" and "casino taxation" through his committee. Oh, he was
 one of the Congresspersons that tried to put pressure on the Corps of
 Engineers to release the remains of Kennewick Man, but as far as I know, he
 and his buddies were ignored by the Corps.
 SB> He's definitely not targeting everyone: just native americans and
 SB> recent immigrants.  I'm sure he supports a tax free status for
 SB> religions. 
 
 Fits the pattern...
