Democrats to Push Pocketbook Issues

[Mr. Brightside]

Pocketbook issues?

Rubin is calling for a tax increase. Moran and Frank are calling for gays in the military and Dean is on a mission to "recruit" more gays, lesbians and trangenders for office.

As you well know, they don't give a rip aobut our military or America as we know it. They will now go forward with their real agenda.

The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened."
-Norman Thomas, six-time Socialist Party presidential candidate and one of the founders of the ACLU.

"I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and sole control of those who produced the wealth: communism is the goal."
- Roger Baldwin, founder of the ACLU

What the Dems want to do is eliminate the cap on Social Security wages so that every dollar you earn will have a social security tax levied against it. Their next step will be to eliminate social security taxes for anyone earning less than $50,000 per year. The top 50% of income earners collectively will have gotten a huge tax increase and the bottom 50% (the ones the Dems call "working families") will have gotten a huge tax cut. Also a great bonus for the illegals that the Dems would like to give amnesty to.

It wouldn't surprise me to see the Dems resurrect Al Gore's 1990 idea to levy "a one-time" 20% tax on all IRAs/401(K)s. Truly a case of stealing from the ants to give to the grasshoppers!
