What is a famous line? "nobody loves their momma more than I love mine" Typical bs from the RNC rich, fat-cats that make their living off the backs of the rest of us...

Republicans are the party of the RICH AND THE INTERCONNECTED RICH AND THEY SERVE THEMSELVES FIRST...GOT IT?
The Democrats are the party of the middle class and the working man and they make the effort to help them by improving working and social conditions...by preventing the RICH AND INTERCONNECTED from exploiting the average man and woman who controls neglible capital.....GOT IT?
Our so called Government is mainly made up of the rich and the interconnected rich and they have UNIVERSAL FOR LIFE HEALTH INSURANCE and 48,000,000 of our "Fellow Americans" ..citizens ....have none.
GOT IT?
vOTE FOR Mccain and you are voting against yourself unless you are one of the RICH AND INTERCONNECTED.
WAKE UP OUT THERE!

"When someone convinces you that the rich have to have even more money in order for you to simply have a job, honey, you''''ve been played."

What a great saying! I''ll have to remember that one.

"...nothing but a naked upward-redistribution scheme."

A perfect description of Reaganomics.

I always saw it as a bit of a form of economic blackmail.

When someone convinces you that the rich have to have even more money in order for you to simply have a job, honey, you''ve been played.

The Economist Magazine (hardly a liberal rag) says:
"Between 2002 and 2006 the incomes of 99% [of Americans] rose by 1% a year in real terms, while those of the top 1% rose by 11% a year; three-quarters of the economic gains during Mr Bush''s presidency went to that top 1%."

Amazing... how many people a Stetson hat and an ''aw-shucks'' drawl will fool...

At this point, if Obama looks like nobody you''d invite home for dinner, you should probably be voting for him... ;)

Nobody, not even GW Bush, is entirely useless; he can always serve as a bad example, at least.

McBush is the worst president of all time, he eclipsed Ron Ray Gun''s feats. Now we could get (if big corporate Amerika gets its way), an even worse one in McSame. Is this change we can believe in?

The upper class are not going to start sending their precious little ones to private schools simply because they have to pay more in taxes. The idea would be unthinkable for them to have their silver spoon children have to mix with the riff-raff hoi polloi.

These people, by definition, already have a substantial amount of disposable income.

Don''t worry about losing your job--at least not for the reason you give.
