Well kids, this has been fun but I have to run now. Need to get ready to go to the Lord's Diner. The people start to come in around 6 but we need to be there early to get things set up.

funny but misleading of course. Perhaps the prank should have shown dozens of people giving 2 pieces of candy to one kid while giving the other 1, referencing millionaires paying half the tax rate based upon capital gains. By the time they got to that guy, the kid with half would be pretty upset and the kid who has more candy than he can eat, if he was a decent kid and taught well, probably wouldn't mind sharing his.

Why is it the public's business what he did with his prize money??? If he paid the proper taxes on it, the rest is really none of my business.

No one pays attention to that little problem with the Dems in charge of borrowing us into bankruptcy. How about fiscal responsibility or do you want your kids to inherit this mess?

ood luck getting people to agree on what's fair.

I don't consider myself a liberal and I don't want a government study, although I think working class Americans desperately need a think tank to study and promote their concerns.

You're just not willing to acknowledge how much income and wealth government redistributes upward.

That is the absolute truth. Dems are not really liberal, they are anti choice.
