After the recent House passage of acting president Bush's tax plan there erupted outside the Capital Building a spontaneous rally of support by a horde of seeming construction and factory workers, thus demonstrating a broad based support for the legislation. Only they weren't really blue collar workers... the Republicans had circulated a "request" (put out by Dennis Hastert) to hundreds of Washington lobbyists telling them to all show up to the rally dressed as "working type people" complete with coveralls, hardhats, etc. -- Severo M.
