there was a time when I rarely swore. Then I retired and started listening to
cable news (not Fox), and liberal streaming radio. NOW, I think I curse & swear more than the proverbial drunken sailor! i never used the "F" word, and I mean NEVER.

Things got bad during the "W" reign, and I didn't believe it could get worse. THEN this new extreme RW Pub party slithered onto the scene. it now gets worse DAILY! I dodn't listen or watch that debate last night, but Randi has quite a few clips on her show today. What planet are those people from?

Save up in a private accout for funds to use if you become unemployed, so they could eliminate unemployment taxes.

Privatize SS 7 Medicare so people can accept responsibility for themselves.

Reduce corp taxes & capital gaines taxes to zero.

And one of them said the ONLY thing that gov't should be responsible for is a military!


Have I died and this is HELL?

1. Oh, that debate was priceless
You just had to put on your "looking into an alternate universe" glasses to watch it.

2. So, even though corps are "people", they want those particular "people"
to be exempt from taxes?

Is that about right?

3. They aren't going to eliminate unemployment taxes
At least, not the worker contribution. They just want to 'redirect' them to the military and oil subsidies.
