Scott Howard said it best:

Dear George W. Bush,

You are not the conservative candidate for president. John Kerry isn't either, so I guess conservatives like myself have no one to vote for. But since you've been president for three and a half years and have basically ruined everything I hold dear in this country, I think I'll cast my vote for the guy who hasn't yet had a chance to bring us closer to Armageddon.

What ownership society?

http://www.robertreich.org/reich/20040901.asp
Robert Reich clearly explains why the “Ownership Society” that Bush is pushing is a trick.

The notion is to expand private ownership through more tax cuts on capital investments, tax credits for saving, and privatized Social Security.
Sounds nice, but here’s the problem: The Republican rhetoric assumes most Americans can save and invest. The reality is, most Americans are deep in debt. Before they can join the “Ownership Society” they’ve got to pay their credit card bills, their rising variable-rate mortgages, and their auto loans. After that, there’s no money left because jobs are in short supply and wages are stuck in the mud.

Translation: Owernship Society: It’s a member’s only club, it would be ethical if it was a plan to bring MORE people into the ownership society but instead its just a plan to lock people out and help people that are already in!
