Tom Toles for April 09, 2010

:)) .

@Churchillwasparanoid I didn’t delete Jack. I don’t flag people unless they say some really hateful things. What you say in regards to taxes is wrong and stupid. I don’t care what the tax rate is around the world. I care about the tax rate in America. Stop focusing on the 35% that corporations don’t pay. This will the last time I debate you on this. The sky isn’t purple. Stop trying to convince everyone that it is.

You’re starting to sound like the Scott Freitas of economics. Quit while you’re behind.

Tom Tole’s art style has a degree of cute to it.

You could change “Jobs” to “Dems”, and it would STILL be spot on. Remember Slick Willie: “It’s The Economy, Stupid!” The November reckoning is coming.

Depending on how you look at it it could also be “Reps.” They’re certainly taking a beating these days.

I asked a week or so ago, but forgot to check back.

Does anyone know what happened to Scott Freitas? I had stopped reading his posts (and those of a few others), but I did eventually notice he’s not here any longer.

Starguy and friends might consider that with what’s actually happening, if the republi- cons are found out by the voters, they will be flatter than road kill come November.

Anna,

I think Scotts head exploded when health care passed.

DrCanuck,

You may be on to something.

On the spontaneous chuckle meter this toon got me.

Then along comes brad-w’s and Dr-C’s posts, and yet more chuckles.

Lovely to feel the blood pressure lessen.

Sooky Rottweiler says; Is that Mittaines?

Tiger-striped Mittaines says; No, flea motel! I’m on my second like! I have seven more to annoy you!

See Mittaines’ poker face in the Sherpa section!

@HQ Cute but no.

FAIR TAX = pie in the sky.

Sooky Rottweiler says; Define fair, righties! Flat tax is like an old human versus me in a raw sirloin eating contest. I have a large mouth with rottweiler teeth actually made for raw meat and the old human’s teeth have all fallen out long ago. We both have what nature gave us, so that’s fair, right?

^ I know that Fair Tax and Flat Tax are not the same since Fair Tax repeals individual income tax.

Disclaimer: I am not an economist and do not stand for or against any tax code (mainly because I do not understand sufficiently).

^at least you have the humility to say it!

jobs have a “dead cat” bounce…next the stock markets and t-bills…the war mongers will demand higher interest rates and other weak ways to stop continuous wars ongoing depression–(will not work..the Republic will turn on it self and everyone will be @ naked lunch, eating their own assets- to support the wars.
