Please DU This poll...(HUMOR)
Edited on Tue Jan-03-06 04:16 AM by ddeclue
Just kidding but it is hilarious if you think about it... it sounds like they are asking a K street lobbyist what to do his "spare cash"....


http://www.cnn.com/...


If you had a spare $150,000, what would you spend it on?
I'd buy a 2-headed snake - Sounds like buying a Republican Congressman to me...
I'd pay off debts - Democrat answer
I'd squander it - George W. Bush answer

2. Pay debts
I'm sure a Republican would just go pig-all crazy and waste the money on stupid speculative investments, coke or hookers.

:dunce:

4. Just look at Mr. "Virtue", William Bennett's gambling debts;
the "speculations" (with taxpayer $$) of the bush boys;
Rush Limbaugh's outrageous "hillbilly heroin" habit ...

So, yes. At least the variety of repugs who find their way into the public arena.

:P

5. On the contrary.......
I think a majority of people are LIVING like Republicans. They're spending money they don't have and hoping that something "trickles down" so they can pay their debts.
If a majority were living like Democrats they'd be paying the bills as they go by taxing the fat, corporate rich that have such a free ride under the BFEE.

6. The poll question offered $150,000 for people to do as they wished.
Repug economics have left people without the means to pay their debts. I don't believe that it's their wish to be in debt.
The 82% poll result would suggest that it isn't.

We essentially hired our representatives to do our bidding, but they're doing the bidding of their corporate donors instead.
And we're getting screwed.

I don't think the average citizen opposes corporations paying their fair share. This calamity train is being driven by BushCo, not citizens. We're not voting for tax cuts for the wealthy, the DC repukes (mostly) are.

We used to think that we lived in a democracy. Now many of us would just be happy to not live under martial law.

8. If I had a spare $150,000 that means that I have no debts.
None of the choices are good for me, I would save the bulk of it for retirement.
