Bush SR in 1992; Jimmy Carter in 1980 and Bill Clinton in 1996 - all had lower disapproval ratings in January than Bush has now - Bush disapproval is 45%. prospect.org

Huh? Forget the everyday rhetoric and explain to us how increased taxes close the gap and that it is capitalism. All I see is waste and pork barrel spending. I do not see it going directly to the people... What percentage increase should you have to pay that will be wasted on stupid programs that are inefficient? Actually, it's not called communism, it's called a healthy capitalistic society with fair income tax grades according to what you can afford, closing loopholes to evade taxes, and to try and keep the gulf between rich and poor not as big as the Grand Canyon, the way it is in third world countries. The rich need to pay more. They did just fine under Clinton and so did everyone else. Things got paid for. With the Bush tax cut scheme, the rich get off, the corporate interests get welfare and the middleclass and poor eat cake, crumbs or just get forgotten. Also the environment gets filthied and raped. Not very Christian.

C'mon, you're killing me over here. I can't stand much more of this, I get cramps from laughing. Next you'll be rewriting the Constitution for all the Poor Worker Drones that can't read. What we need is a picture book showing the Evil Rich holding down the Oppressed Poor and Raping the Planet. Yowie. How about a Saturday Cartoon Show? Yeah, that's it. The Evil Rich can donate the televisions, right? Wow. "It's not communism, it's called a healthy capitalistic society..." Wow. I believe you're baked, young lady. Baked.
