Business World? Dwayne, you sound more like Mars or Pluto!

What world does Dwayne Hartnett live in? In his opinion column in the Sunday Globe-News, 10/31, Hartnett's comments on the election read as though he has three sources: the Globe-News, Fox cable network and Rush Limbaugh! To enumerate - first, he says Kerry has yet to explain how he will end the war on terror. Dwayne, Bush only says "more of the same." Is that a plan? Then he says the abolishment of the Bush tax cut for people making over $200,000 a year would "just about do in every small business in the country." Dwayne, you should read the WSJ or the Economist - the family income shouldn't have anything to do with operating the business! Third, what payroll has Georgie boy been involved in - other than his businesses that failed? Do you think he knew anything about the Rangers pay? Is that Mars or Pluto? Then he speaks once again to the tax break to the wealthy and admits that even though Kerry and Teresa are rich, they still support the elimination (Dwayne, did you see where Warren Buffet said he hopes he has to pay lots of taxes? Oh, I forgot your sources!) Fifth, Dwayne boy compares Kerry to Hubert Humphrey who said “the moral test of a government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and, those in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped.” Does that fit into Bush's "Compassionate Conservatism?" Finally Hartnett said Kerry married into his wealth and Georgie boy "made his own money in oil and baseball." Amazing!! Maybe I was wrong Dwayne - maybe it's Neptune or Saturn you've been on!
