If I were a columnist, these are the kinds of questions I would like to ask the "have mores" or as Bush called them, his base.
How many houses can you live in? How large do they need to be?
We have one, about 1000 square feet. How many cars can you drive?
3...His, Hers, and a backup (with about 200,000 miles on it)Private plane?
Nope, unless you count paper models. How much food can you eat?
Less than UP. How many dresses or suits can you wear? How many shoes are required?
We usually stick to one at a time. Don't you?? How much jewelry is sufficient?
A wedding ring about does it. How many personal attendants must care for your needs?
We have one. I'm it. What size yacht is up to snuff?
Oh, we have the most lovely yacht...it sits on the top shelf in the living room. In a bottle. How much can you spend in a restaurant before you consider it wretched excess?
I don't know about most Bush supporters, but I cringe if we get up to $9 a plate.How much do you spend on hair dressers?
Well, I did get my hair trimmed once, a few months ago. And Mr Smith gets his cut about every other month...so I'd say maybe $150 a year.Is plastic surgery a necessity or a luxury?
Is this another UP question?What is the most you would spend on a bottle of wine?
Oops, sorry, we're Baptists...don't drink.What percentage of income should you pay in taxes?
A lot less than Uncle "O" is going to want next year.What's the most you would pay for a shower curtain?
I think I've gone as high as $11. What personal idiosyncrasy do you spend more than you should on?
Definitely books. We probably spend $30 a month on books. Sometimes we have to skimp on groceries, don't you know.Despite a luxurious lifestyle, do you hide money from the taxman?
Do you pay your personal bills promptly?
Yep. On time every month. Try it someday, you'll find it makes interest rates go down and everything.Do you ever have one moment of financial concern?
Oh, no, never. After all, it's just money. God has been very good to us...we've never starved, gone without shelter (unless you still don't count trailers, then we've been homeless for years at a time), or been unable to afford clothes at Goodwill.What is your political affiliation? Why?
Republican...because while they get a lot of things wrong, the Democrats get EVERYTHING wrong.Do you bother having health insurance or do you just self-insure?
We are very grateful for the PPO provided by my employer, though Mr Smith is now insured through his employer because it saved us a little money...that helps out with the child support and college expenses we have to pay, don't you know.Have you ever lived on just a paycheck?
Ah, HA! Finally...the biggest difference between the average Republican and the average DUmpMonkey...we EARN our money.
