For years the dems have been screaming about tax cuts for the rich and promising to roll back those tax cuts..
Last night dubya proposes reducing future benefits for the so called "rich" and increasing benefits for the poor and the response of the dems is:

"It's like throwing a drowning man a lead weight instead of a life preserver," Mark Mellman, a Democratic pollster, said of Mr. Bush's decision to introduce benefit cuts into the equation. "He's got a plan that neither the public nor his own party can support. Only good can come from Democrats' defending the right of the middle class to continue getting their benefits in full."
