Lucky . . .

. . . duckies . . .

(from Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them:  A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right by Al Franken)
". . . In all this talk, one thing that gets lost is that there are forty-two million working Americans who have not gotten one cent in (Bush) tax cuts. The Wall Street Journal refers to them as "Lucky Duckies" because they earn so little that they don't pay any income taxes. Many lucky duckies are deeply in debt to predatory lenders. Man of these lucky duckies couldn't afford college and cannot afford health insurance. Some of these lucky duckies, working Americans, will be homeless sometime during the year. Their children, the lucky ducklings, are far more like than my kids, or Paul Gigot's, to be killed violently or die of a preventable disease. . . Apparently, the Wall Street Journal thinks that the unluckiest thing in the world is paying taxes. . . "
