  Willie Horton was a convicted murderer. He was in prison for life without possibility of parole. Whoever wrote this article referred to him as a convicted rapist only. Willie was free to do whatever he wanted on his weekend furloughs . MIchael Stanley Dukakis would not even meet with the Maryland couple who were held at knifepoint and the wife was repeatedly raped. The Lawrence Eagle Tribune won a pulitzer for there coverage of the sister of the young man killed by Willie. She got the furlough program cancelled not Dukakis.
  Can't Newsweek with all their staff weed out the glaring errors.

  If anyone is living in a fantasy wolrd, it's you. Stop spouting that tired old trickle down theory. Somewhere along the way the republican party took a hard right - the focus became on taking care of yourself and your family and forgetting about everyone else. That is not what America is all about.
  
  If your household expenses suddenly go up, you have to cut back on spending or find a higher paying job. If you couldn't do either of the two, you'd go bankrupt.
  
  Well, running a country isn't that much different. Our expenses have gone up - it's called the Iraq war and a $700 Billion financial bailout package. And while there is some opportunity to cut expenses, it is not enough. So the only other option is to find a way to increase revenue - which means raising taxes. Or, more appropriately, rolling back the ridiculus tax cuts that Bush implemented during his presidency.
  
  I happen to be in the $250K+ category myself. Would I like to keep more of my money? Sure. But am I suddenly going to be in the poor house if my taxes go up? No. And if higher taxes help those who are less fortunate than I am - I can live with that.
