(5,213 posts)Republicans are actually talking about a tax hike??! Wow

(7,820 posts)Never have. The goal is wealth redistribution to the top. If it screws over those at the bottom and helps those at the top, they're all for it.

(3,795 posts)They don't impact the wealthy at all, but they have a large impact on working class and poor people.
For this reason they love tolls too. Downright regressive form of raising revenue for government.

(67,111 posts)think they know how to run the economy. The only thing the republicans run the economy for is to fatten their own pockets.

bush 1 ends with crash
clinton ends with boom
bush 2 ends with depression
obama ends (to this point in time) with recovery
When only around 38% take the time to vote, and the majority of them were republicans, this is what we get. The idea that both parties are the same is insane, and now we will pay for the insanity of those not bothering to vote.

Gee, I wonder why only 38% turned out. Go figure.

(9,214 posts)The price of quitting Dean's 50 state strategy?
The price of supporting a candidate like Grimes? Remember her? The one that talked and acted like she was a better Republican than Mitch?
Evidence aside that the Democrats and liberals do vote, one question you "the people didn't vote" people never ask is why didn't they vote. I don't think you want to know the answer.

(130,974 posts)markets crashed yesterday beginning overseas. Dow down 331 yesterday, http://money.cnn.com/2015/01/05/investing/stocks-market-fall-oil/ today down 'only' 130.
Reason given is oil, the world markets can't handle low priced oil.
Markets will surely suffer, and we will have nightmare years with repugs 'leading,' but we must get the facts right, unlike repugs who lie.

lot of $$$ to be made if one is ready to take some
losses in the short term.
