I bet you can't wait until Barrack Obama or Hillary Clinton try to turn the US into a socialist country....what is it about tax payers paying for EVERYTHING that really makes you happy? That kind of system makes for lazy people and as you can see in parts of America that's the last thing we need
The Republican congress passed those disastrous tax cuts and the Democratic congress is repealing them. The GOP congress was generally accepted to have been the worst in living memory. A list of the bills they tried to pass while they were in charge other than tax cuts and giveaways to corporations :

gay marriage

flag burning

late-term abortions

abstinence programmes instead of sex education

and so on.

All issues to play to the prejudices of their base but not things that actually matter.

Meanwhile the Dems want to stop the US spending trillions on oil wars in the Middle East which are doomed to failure and instead invest that money developing non-fossil green energy so that the US can ignore the Middle East. Slightly more worthwhile than a law against flag burning.

So exactly which party is grandstanding here, hmmm ?


America is already a socialist country, it's just that it's corporate socialism in America with the handouts going to corporations. Those Communists Bear Stearns got an open cheque yesterday from the US taxpayer and there's going to be a big queue of socialist Wall Street bankers outside the fed over the next year or so waiting for their own handouts -- and you're going to be paying for it. It's going to be the biggest transfer of wealth in US history over the next ten years when you take inflation into consideration. Bigger than even the amounts Reagan and Bush 41 robbed you of. You seem to be determined to ignore reality and continue to vote for the people who relentlessly fuck you up the arse when they're in power. Why is this ?
