What price would you pay?

We've established what you are, madam, now we're just haggling price.

So the other day I was listening to Air America in the car. They were asking people why they were voting Republican. One person called up and said that they weren't, but they had asked friends who were that question. The response? "If the Democrats win, they'll raise my taxes by $25,000 a year." Now, those people must be making an awful lot of money for a tax hike to cost them that much, but it's clear what they're saying. The war, the death, the destruction, the removal of civil liberties, the disregard for the Constitution - all of it (not to mention the attacks on social programs, the growing disenfranchisement of the poor, the young, the old, and the sick) - is worth no more than $25,000 a year to them.

I wonder what price they would take. Twenty thousand? Heck, that's about $200 for every US soldier who's died in Iraq this month alone. That's pretty cheap, don't you think?
