Good question...

...and a better answer from Better Donkey...

What is the point of preaching to the converted?

Well it was rallying the converted that won George Bush the Presidential Election, and if we are ever going to put the Republicans back on the defensive, we’ll have to start doing some rallying of our own.

One rally point our leaders are offering is the battle against Bushco's new taxes. First Harry Reid spotted the birth tax and now a team of leading Senators has discovered another rotten easter egg in the Administration budget basket.

Ranking Member on the Senate Finance Committee Max Baucus joined Democratic Senators Dick Durbin, Charles Schumer and Jon Corzine Wednesday in calling on President Bush and the Republicans to come clean about the effects of the “privatization tax” contained in the President’s Social Security privatization plan.

Bush I promised "no new taxes." With Bush II, it seems it's all new taxes!
