Don't forget that the bureaucratic scumbag gaming commissioner in the book and film Casino was Harry Reid.

So the party of the rich that supports extra taxes on themselves to pay for services versus the party of the rich that supports tax cuts on themselves to stop the delivery of services to anyone but themselves.

Which to chose, which to choose...

Should there be a comma in there?

(thanks for giving her to us California retards) or (thanks for giving her to us, California retards)?

Both Democratic and Republican parties favor the rich. At least the Republicans are pretty transparent about it.

The Democratic parties pretends they are against the rich because it sounds good.

Is Pelosi were serious about taxes. She would propose a "wealth tax" on those with more than 10 million. Of course that would hit her directly. She would never do a thing like that. And she's a pretty liberal lawmaker.

Look at John Kerry. Liberal dude. His wife ketchup lady paid a whopping 10% in federal taxes. John Kerry was never serious about raising taxes on the rich.

John Edwards. Same stuff. Doesn't propose tax law changes on S corp. cause he shifted and diverted millions through his S corp so he wouldn't get hit with a big tax bill.

U liberals just cannot defend these democrats. They favor the rich. Cause most of them are rich themselves.

Believe me, people are indeed paying attention and are aware of those facts:

New Pew Research poll:
66% of respondents say the Obama Administration's economic policies since the recession have helped wealthy people a great deal or a fair amount.
68% say the Obama Administration's policies since the recession have provided little or no help for small businesses.
72% say the Obama Administration's policies since the recession have done little or nothing to help the middle class.
65% say the Obama Administration's policies since the recession have provided little or no help for the poor.

...the exact opposite of what the Democratic Party "claims" as their political platform.

Republicans are good for the middle class and the Dems are good at expanding the poor and rich.
Republicans are good for small business, which is one of the most successful ways of achieving upward socioeconomic mobility.

Oh come on now, you can't be that brain dead. Democrats are excellent at propaganda "claiming" they are the party that care about the poor but they are the party of the rich. Actually anyone who believes government gives a damn is naive but democrats have the gift of gab.

It was pathetic how people thought Obama was their savior. People are so naive!

And you managed to do it before the thread hit 2 pages. Lol..

Hey...I've got a few bucks in my pocket. Get over here and protect me from the big bad liberals while you're barely getting by on your wages.

Suckers. There's one born every hour.
Corps and unions pay taxes, why shouldn't they get a say and spend money on elections?

"No taxation without representation" was a major impetus for the founding of this country.
