Already Forgetting The Forgotten

Sen. John McBush has finished his "Forgotten America" photo opp tour of economically depressed areas. He must have wanted to discuss his policy on capital gains taxes with the poor. Well, yesterday he ended his "tour" in Baton Rouge as a guest speaker at a banquet. Sponsored by Business Report and Junior Achievement, the banquet had tables priced from $550 (seating 8) to $700 (seating 10). After posing with the poor folks, it was nice that McBush was able to return to the people he's more comfy with.
