Gross and disgusting (and NOT TRUE!) - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Is that what liberals think? Not the ones I know.
So, pray tell. How do all those liberals you know think? - BTW,
[ In Reply To ..]what makes you believe only liberals have finally caught on?
What's gross and disgusting about it? - Other than the rich people
[ In Reply To ..]being gross and disgusting in robbing & cheating the middle class all of these years?
Au contraire - old and burned out
[ In Reply To ..]You must know some strange liberals. Believe whatever you like but the 1% have done better than ever over the last decade or two and there is more money concentrated in fewer hands than ever before and trickle-down has never, ever worked.
I demand that you post a link - to back up your statement!
[ In Reply To ..];)
Conventional wisdom by now, as election results show. - No link necessary. nm :-X

Is the rich guy Romney? - in the Cayman Islands
[ In Reply To ..]Ed Asner is awesome.
No, that would be Obama, - nm

I posted this very same video - last week, but because
[ In Reply To ..]it came through CainTV and Newsmax, I was jumped on all over for it too, as not a "credible source," called a liberal, as well as a bunch of other names I care not mention. However, to those of you who keep bringing up the wealth that Romney has earned throughout his lifetime and inherited from his family, why is it never mentioned that Obama is nearly as wealthy as Romney and nobody ever mentions his money, where he has stolen it from, oops, i mean earned it from, and what he intends to do with it in the future. He is a wealthy "business man" as much as Romney is so point out some of his faults, will you? and what is so politically incorrect about being wealthy? None of the politicians "share" what they have in their coffers either, and most likely they received their monies from US.
Romney is worth over 200 million more - than Obama
[ In Reply To ..]They're not anywhere near the same level.
And there is nothing politically incorrect about being wealthy, but venture capitalists are obviously not respected. Particularly those who send jobs overseas, stash their money in overseas accounts, pay half the percentage of taxes as the rest of us, and make disparaging remarks about nearly half the population of this country.
That's not what I heard - sm
[ In Reply To ..]ARe you counting all the money he has in hidden off shored accounts? Most likely not. BO is no poor man that's for sure.
You heard wrong. Here's a link to - 12 years of IRS returns for
[ In Reply To ..]POTUS, VPOTUS and their spouses. Notice the full disclosure, including all attached forms for all 12 years.
from whom? or is it just say anything? - nm
[ In Reply To ..]
I saw a very different one last week. But Obama is - nearly as wealthy as Romney? Very deluded. sm
[ In Reply To ..]You've been drinking some weird Kool-Aid.
BTW? Cartoons and TV are for illiterates and semi-illiterates. Half the adults in this country would find reading a newspaper article tough sledding, so they don't. That's a real problem because written media are where the information is.
so now I am an illiterate?? - and watching TV is for illiterates?
[ In Reply To ..]wow! where do you get your information from? and I cannot read on top of it? If you said that to my face, there may be a problem!
You're an MT, so presumably not. But those cartoons - are made and sent around to reach nonreaders. nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
I'm still P O'd... - and still weighing...
[ In Reply To ..]my options!
Obama includes himself in the group whose - sm
[ In Reply To ..]taxes are going to expire this year. He has done that publicly and repeatedly.
The difference between Romney and Obama is that Romney is unpatriotic, being unwilling to take a SMALL loss of his massive portion of wealth.
Obama proves everyday that he is very patriotic and loves this country. That's why HE'S willing to have HIS taxes go up, too.
Obama is now President. He makes $400,000 salary, - plus a big expenses package. That doesn't
[ In Reply To ..]mean they were wealthy before, and they were not. As a U.S. Senator fairly briefly, he wasn't underpaid either. Make no mistake, though, his only entree to the society of the 1% of the 1% who own most of this country is by invitation to this event or that one.
Romney is unpatriotic???? Unbelievable. - !!!
[ In Reply To ..]Class envy is oozing out of your post. Been drinking the liberal media's koolaid, accepting everything you've been told? Obama could lie to your face and you'd still believe him. Get real.
Don't be so ridiculous. Romney is the BIGGEST loser - of the 21st century so far,
[ In Reply To ..]despite all his visible millions PLUS the ones he kept hidden from the great unwashed 47%ers, though he seemed to have no problem revealing the full picture of his wealth behind closed doors when it came time for McCain to vet his VP candidates. What's to envy there? Money cannot buy happiness, respect OR elections.
No, America is the biggest loser - SK
[ In Reply To ..]for having reelected you-know-who.
Ah. That is where you are wrong, wrong, wrong. nm - oldtimer
[ In Reply To ..].
let's examine why "class" and "koolaid" so frequently appear - in the same post
[ In Reply To ..]here's an idea: develop your own thoughts, rather than repeating nonsensical fluff.
You heard the professor. And write a two-page - double-spaced report
[ In Reply To ..]supporting your use of the words while you're at it.
She'll need extra time - to complete the assignment.
[ In Reply To ..]Locating the Fox talking points memo on that could take a while.
The point of the cartoon isn't about Pubs or Dems, - its about the uber-rich, the banks, -sm
[ In Reply To ..]Wall St., big corporations, big oil, HMOs, and all the other big-money entities that are squeezing every last dime, and every last drop of blood, out of the rest of us.
Umhm, but anyone who needs this cartoon explained - is unreachable. nm

Nearly as wealthy? Not quite. sm - VTMT
[ In Reply To ..]Granted President Obama is a millionaire with a net worth in the neighborhood of 8 million, no where near Romney's 250 million, about 30 times that of that of the president. Actually we DO know where the president's money comes from, the sales of his best-selling books. Additionally, Obama thinks he and other wealthy people should pay more in taxes.
thank you - sm
[ In Reply To ..]just...thank you. I guess people hear the word "million" and don't do the math. It would be like saying $40k is nearly as wealthy as $1.2 million.
obama versus romney - cestmoi
[ In Reply To ..]The same people picked Obama and Romney, and the vote is manipulated. Ron Paul is the only honest person, which is why he is mocked on TV. Follow Dr. Orly Taitz's blog if you want some Truth with a capital T.
Ah, Ron. - A national treasure.
[ In Reply To ..]“The Criminals who terrorize our cities – in riots and on every non-riot day – are not exclusively young black males, but they largely are.”
“Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action.”
“Immigrants can spread diseases for which we may have no immunity. There is also the question of crime and culture. Many immigrants come from countries with different legal structures and are not willing to behave in the way we expect American citizens to behave.”
“There is no such thing as a hate crime.”
”We don’t think a child of 13 should be held responsible as a man of 23. That’s true for most people, but black males age 13 who have been raised on the streets and who have joined criminal gangs are as big, strong, tough, scary and culpable as any adult and should be treated as such.”
Orly Taitz, the country's #1 birther babbler? - HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa.
[ In Reply To ..]Surely you jest.
Cestmoi, the only person who chose Romney, was Romney - himself, at least until after he won
[ In Reply To ..]the primary. He was and is a total outsider. No group of political insiders came to him and told him should run. No one wanted him, outside his church leadership anyway. Basically, he funded himself until he made himself the GOP choice to run against Obama and finally got reluctant support from big money donors.
ORLY TAITZ?????????!!! - sm
[ In Reply To ..]That woman belongs in the loony bin!!
ROFL!
Excellent! sm - Seen it all
[ In Reply To ..]Thanks for posting this link. Anyone who has worked continuously for the past 45 years like I have will see a lot of truth in this. I remember what it used to be like in our great country...when we all paid our fair share. Lots of jobs. You could pick and choose the best paying job with benefits, job security, and a pension. Yes, a pension. Nonunion jobs had plenty of pensions back then. Then, the greedy rich got more greedy and started closing down our factories and sending our jobs overseas, leaving only minimal wage jobs for our skilled workforce. Skilled workforce no longer has money to spend and the domino effect occurs. We can see that in our medical transcription jobs, but it started back in the 1970s when our factories were shuttered. It is just now getting down to office workers and telephone operators and such. Don't forget the farmers. Our country cannot even provide food and supplies for itself anymore. Shameful.
