"Some might call them the superrich......

Apparently, the majority calls them donors."
I love that quote


Another party line vote to bail out the disadvantaged billionaires

These gifts to the wealthiest among us ALWAYS seem to go along "party lines".
So surreal is the image of a GOP official sobbing for "the poor rich man":

House passes tax cut to preserve lower capital gains, dividend rates

<excerpt>
WASHINGTON - The House voted Thursday to make sure investors hang onto lowered tax rates for capital gains and dividends for an extra two years.

Voting mostly along party lines, the House narrowly passed a $56 billion, five-year package of tax cuts that retains reduced tax rates on capital gains and dividends in 2009 and 2010. The vote was 234-197.

Democrats said tax cuts for investment income, and much of the GOP's economic agenda, help Republican friends and ignore average workers.

"Everybody loses under this bill. Everybody, that is, except the top one-fifth of 1 percent," said Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga. "Some might call them the superrich. Apparently, the majority calls them donors."

I can't believe they passed this.

ya, the rich people's house!

when Bush called his rich donors his "base." I hear you.
