Once upon a time, it was Jim Hightower who brought the payroll tax idea to my attention. When he jumped on the Kerry bandwagon, though, I gave up on him. People who are more interested in supporting their franchises than supporting real change can collect their small change from somebody else. I'd rather funnel what little I've got to the animal shelter than help bankroll another fatuous round of ABB...
