I'd take the trickle. Ain't seen none yet. "Trickle down economics", Reagan's voodoo economics, right? Stockman, you were right. Just don't work.

the Potters funded the Romney campaign. And Potter never did go to prison for stealing that $8,000 from Uncle Billy, did he?

"Hey, everybody, let's GET them!" No, we wait politely for the prosecutors and judges to do their jobs. They all belong to Potter's country club. They live in the same gated community. They were frat brothers before that. Potter bankrolled their political campaigns. I'm suggesting there may be some conflict of interest.

The rich screw the poor and the only thing that even slows it down is the intervention of the government on behalf of the people.

FDR saved America and Capra knew it. His films reinforced the "we're-all-in-this-together" ethic that was needed then...but is still needed now as well...
