Latest right-wing mass e-mail.

I've been trying to get the real story, but I'm out of time. This comes from my wacko relatives who "woke up one day and decided they were all republicans" according to one of my uncles. I already slammed her last forward featuring a "quote" from Jay Leno (before that it was Robin Williams, George Carlin, Andy Rooney).



Subject: Fw: Windfall tax - You MUST read this - frightening!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windfall Tax on Retirement Income

Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you're so darn stupid that we're going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. That's what the Speaker of the House is saying. Read below...............

Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren't going to believe this.

Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds! Alas , it is true - all to help the 20 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!

This woman is frightening.
She quotes...' We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn't Marx say something like this), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.' ( I am not rich, are you)

When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:
'We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'.' (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in. 'Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it'.

Send it on to your friends. I just did!! This lady is out of her mind and she is the speaker of the house!

Is the email about to blow up or something?

to make a living in the boosh economy.

That should get you off their mailing list. Worked for me.

from the inability or unwillingness to check the truth behind the e-mails, they may be correct in their assessment of their fellow Republicans.

I believe I know why. They want so bad for repugs to be moral, honest, fair, caring, compassionate, 'chryssschen' leaders that they can't see past their delusions. You can show them the proof they are wrong, and they still don't buy it. "Oh, the liberal media must have edited that statement, they dubbed bushies words in." I actually had a successful, intelligent (now deceased), beloved aunt tell me this. After the 2000 election while things were being disputed, I called her after hearing stupidface say on the radio "The executive branch is the law interpreting branch.." First there was denial (she said she had heard the statement and he didn't say that), then the " dubbed his words in" remark. Even after I sent her the quote from dubyaspeak, she was in denial.

I realized that most of the kooks who love reading and forwarding the hate e-mails will believe that Snopes is a left-wing controlled lie machine. I have noticed that Snopes can be very sympathetic to the reich-wing.

politicians have been playing them as suckers. Revealing the truth to them brings down a well constructed wall of denial.

I have an aunt who believes every e-mail sent to her is true if it slams Dems. So she 'does me a favor' and passes it along to me to 'educate' me. :spank:

Thanks.

Heh! :patriot:

Tell them you don't believe it and they should prove it.

on their typewriters in the room and switched to writing email rumors on computers

Poverty, starvation,...etc?

Reichwingers and their illinformed ideas.

"Hillary's a bitch" and "Obama's a Muslim"? Besides, poor people are just 'lazy', and blah blah, bootstraps, blah...:eyes:

who think the work revolves around them and that they own the world and everying on it.

make them provide it if they believe it. Tell them to prove it.

You'll give yourself a hernia (or himnia) arguing with these idiots.
