Your party ran the entire federal government for the past two years.

Why didn't Democrats raise taxes?

Why did BO wait until the lame duck session to renew tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans?

Give up?

Because if he waited until the new Congress was seated, they would have demanded spending cuts in exchange for extending UEI instead of lining the pockets of Obama's friends and robbing the next generation.

It will never been enough for them. They will take and take and take, until theirs nothing left to take. They had their tax cuts and handouts, and it was just more money in their pockets, and that's where it will all go until someone comes along who has the guts to stop it.

The oil companies are just the perfect example of this. They are making record profits at the expense of the country (oil costs are low, but gas prices are high), and they are STILL threatening to raise prices if they don't get handed 30 billion dollars in subsides. The record profits aren't enough, no, they want to get handed more, and if they don't, the little guy is going to suffer cause they just HAVE to get that money one way or the other. Sorry, but the big rich oil executive just NEEDS it. The fact that hes already a multi millionaire just isn't enough. **** them. They don't care about you, and no matter how big a Tea Partier you are and how much you buy into this trickle down bull****, they'll still step on you in a second just to put another dollar in their pocket...

No, the corporate owned Pro Wealthy Anti-American Republicans blackmailed Congress by holding unemployment benefits hostage in exchange for Congress bowing down and worshipping the Wealthy by keeping the Wealthy's HUGE Bush TAX CUTS.

This country and economy are set to favor multimillionaire financiers. We should make it official by only allowing men with over 10 million dollars in real or financial property to vote. They own the country so let them take the responsibility for running it.

Only men with 1 million or more would be allowed to vote in State elections or serve in the legislatures. Any property owner could vote in local elections.

This would keep most liberals and almost all of the Tea Party far away from the power to effect the wealthy. That is the way it should be.

And don't forget "We don't think we'll put together a budget this year"! We'll let the other party propose a budget and then do nothing but criticize it!

Real genius going on there. News for you bubba, I own my home free and clear and I no more deserve to vote than does the renter down the street. Do you know the meaning of the word misogyny? I suggest you look it up.

Just who is the sociopath? I highly doubt you even know what that means.
