Remember that 2012 budget alternative Senate Democrats have been so fidgety about releasing to the public? We now know why they aren't especially eager to share their grand blueprint with taxpayers: Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) on Tuesday presented a budget proposal to Senate Democrats that calls for an even balance — 50 percent to 50 percent — of spending cuts and tax increases to reduce the deficit.

They forget we are not a nation of peasants (yet), but still have a lot of wealth creators with stubborn independent values who are smarter than the people who think they are in charge of our lives
200-300 years ago the sheeple stayed back in europe and look at what they became
Attention Conservatives! Name one rule, regulation or agency that is killing us that the “Republicans” have eliminated.....Thought so. They will go down in flames. Prepare for total defeat in 2012. They are going after the “little guys” again. Rats will have a well deserved field day.
OK, it’s driving me crazy. What famous painting is the figure with his hands to his face from? (Pardon the grammar)

The government prints fiat money out of thin air right now.
THere is no need to tax anyone. Not when you have funny money as the basis for your economy. Just make more.
It is exactly what they are doing anyway. So why punish people?

If they did that it still would not pay for an entire year’s worth of government the way they are destroying it now.
“The Scream”. I believe Van Gogh painted it.
Hasn't that always been the goal?
Hasn't that always been the goal?
I remember Macaulay’s unforgettable pose. It was “a scream,” to say the least.
