   I look into my crystal ball and see a lucrative Fox News career ahead, complete with her guarantees of a permanent high-quality government pension and healthcare for her and her huge welfare family for life.

   Haha! Bob Dole is disgusted with Republicans. The world has turned upside down indeed.

   She was an extraordinary teabagger who was among the nation’s worst welfare cases: on the public dole for her salary and health benefits (for the rest of her sorry life), and her family’s and husband’s companies also dipped into the public coffers. Never forget that.

   And google the images of her eating a corndog while you’re at it.

   IT’S THE STUPID LOUD RACIST SCUM THAT REALLY BOTHERS ME

   Politicians don’t write tax laws. Corporate lobbyists (including Apple’s) do.

   So poor people are doing well because they pay fewer taxes?

   Let’s get something straight that you don’t need to be a communist or even have taken college economics to understand …

   You will not become wealthy if you do not claim the fruits of another person’s labor. Period. It is impossible. Anyone who believes that rich people get rich purely through their own hard work have gravel for brains.

   Progressive taxation is intended to mitigate some of the damage done to masses of working people by an extremely small class of people who control industry and government.

   In America, we are unique in that an oddly large number of working people JUST DON’T GET THIS. They are okay with having their labor stolen and not being given anything in return for it. They bristle and rage when the people who steal their labor tell them to on Fox News or the Drudge Report or conservative blogs. Rather than lashing out at the people who eat them alive, they direct their rage at the person next door with a slightly more dilapidated house.

   PLEASE save your tears for the persecuted rich for that moment when you are lying in a pillow on their floor next to their caviar-eating poodles.

   Which should beg the question about why employers need to be involved in healthcare at all. It’s one of the dumbest and most destructive forces in our economy.

   And saying that there’s no alternative is even dumber since most of the civilized world has long since removed employers from holding the reins of healthcare.

   When are ALL of you going to realize that NO ONE in congress, or the president, represents YOU before they pay back their debts to their campaign donors?

   For gods’ sake—please THINK. This isn’t a red vs. blue or a dumbocrat vs. republitard argument. This is about having sand thrown into your eyes with stupid, distracting things while your tax dollars and the money you work for trickle upward.

   Who is winning? This should be obvious by now: Apple, GE, millionaires and billionaires and people with access to politicians. Who is losing? It’s not one political party or one politician—it’s working people, and the poor.

   Rich people aren’t going to protect the rest of us from them. If you choose to revere wealth that you don’t have you might as well start walking around bleating “BAAAA BAAAA” and picturing yourself served as a crown roast with mint sauce.

    Whether or not you agree with what Obummer’s doing, I don’t see evidence that his administration is violating the First or Second Amendment.
