- I liked the example that Perot used in one of his tv shows. If your
- net worth is a penny, and you get another penny, you have doubled your
- net worth.
-
- The "advances" that Clinton boasted about are the same as this. Would
- you look up to the person who's net worth is now two pennies? No, he
- would still be the same welfare recipient, food stamp recipient, and
- every other social program recipient that he was before. Just as
- Clinton is still the same old democrat, who through his political
- advancement staff was made to look like the "New and Improved Democrat."
- That's what I would call a wolf in sheep's clothing.
