BC04' "You're Screwed and There's Nothing You Can Do About It!"

I mean, seriously. Here's the talking point?

"If you tax the rich they'll find ways around the taxes that you won't!"

I can't believe they're running with that one!

8. Reminds me of that hotel bitch . . .

. . . "only little people pay taxes."

Guess Bush just knows firsthand.

4. I'm waiting for a reply from the IRS.

Basically, I wanted to know if I could get a tax break if I started cheating on my taxes. If I couldn't I wanted to know at what income level it was acceptable for me to be cheating and therefore get a tax break.

5. What's worse is Bush always uses "they"

when referring to the rich who weasel out of paying taxes. "They" are "you" you rich douchebag.

10. Right, should be "We evade taxes because we won't stop us."

Bush uses his party's decision to complicate taxes and defang auditors as the excuse to simply do away with taxes--not on the losers who earn wages, but himself and his rich owners.

9. The amazing thing to me is that the audience APPLAUDED that sentiment.

What must be going through the mind of someone who hears a rich president say "don't bother taxing me and my cronies, 'cause we're not going to pay even if you do!" and finds that pleasing?

Fox News has created such a fictional world arround these people that they'll applaud anything that comes out of his mouth.

What happened to independant, critical thought?

There's NOTHING in that statement that should be applauded unless you make 90% of your income from dividends and capital gains and you know that you're going to have at least 5 million dollars in the bank for the rest of your life, and if you have no plans on ever working.

11. Has the panic set in yet?

I love it when scotty and the Bushies go into panic mode. I know that the bushies are already attacking Ben Barnes. I have not heard of any attacks against Kelley yet.
