   • 2001 April 21, Dennis P. Harris, “Re: Choices”, in alt.culture.alaska‎^[1] (Usenet):

     The Repugnicans do everything they can to discriminate against minorities while calling it "choice", and then accuse Democrats of "divisiveness".

   • 2002 July 31, Gary Ott, “Re: It's the Economy, Stupid”, in alt.politics.usa.republican‎^[2] (Usenet):

     If you wish to maintain that the Clinton-era economy was a "bubble economy" you must concede that the simile implies that the "bubble" burst. That's a discrete event. An event Repugnicans did nothing to forestall.

     So it is quite fair and reasonable to say that wage earners are getting the shaft when compared to those who OWN stuff and receive UNEARNED income (mostly economic rent).
