Many of us have been telling them, we are out of money for their left wing b$!.
Last year we had a lot of good Americans come over to our side and say “Enough is Enough!”.

RE :”
Sixty-one percent of Americans polled would rather see taxes for the wealthy increased as a first step to tackling the deficit, the poll showed. The next most popular way — chosen by 20 percent — was to cut defense spending. Four percent would cut the Medicare government health insurance program for the elderly, and 3 percent would cut the Social Security retirement program, the poll showed.”
Not surprising considering nearly half of all Americans pay no federal income taxes. I am hoping that Republican house investigations can help change the perception that taxes are being used rationally by WASHINGTON.

How about a poll asking if rich liberal hollywood "entertainment" folk, newspaper/TV exec's and lib lawyers should put their money where their mouth is....and submit to, say, a 90% tax?
..for the good of "the children"...they'd still live better than the average...Joe the Plumber.
Understand Streisand herself has/had a multi-million dollar home...just for her artwork. Think of how much good that money could do for the needy, and "the children"?
Throw Wall Street into that 90% bracket....wonder how many people would be surprised to find out that, despite the media's attempt to sway public opinion, Wall Street's run mostly by dem's and dem supporters.

It is just like when a liar's lips are moving,
So long as they are polling, you know they are skewing and lying.

‘It is just like when a liar’s lips are moving,
So long as they are polling, you know they are skewing and lying.’
