Republicans are a criminal enterprise without morals and controlled by the plutocrats. What is amazing is how easily they fool their base with lies. Like who are these people that watch FOX propaganda and cant figure out it is mostly lies? And why would they pollute their minds with that crap when MSNBC has such articulate honest news people from whom they could learn a thing or two.

>>The recession began four months before taxes were raised. The recession began, almost to the DAY, that Bush caved to the Democrats. I saw it in my client's financial statements. In particular, one client was a chain of mall stores and they had 10 stores in 10 malls in the D/FW metroplex. Their performance by store was remarkably consistent and we saw the sales drop instantly. It was literally overnight. We met the following week to discuss it and it was like, "WTF JUST HAPPENED?" They were highly leveraged on four of the stores and lost them because of that tax increase, but the writing was on the wall immediately at the time of the announcement. Two months afterward we knew they were going to hit the wall quickly on those four stores. It was sad to see that business wrecked by something so evident. You can make that claim if you want but anyone in retail who was close to the economy knew precisely what happened. And when.
