"All I know is, whenever you have any type of a problem and the problem is one that you spend more than you are actually bringing in then you have to bring in more and spend less. It just makes so much sense, Judge, it's all we have to do," Congressman Charles Rangel (D-NY) told FOX Business this evening

Imbecile.

The only option you have is to spend less.

The gummint ain’t getting a “raise” any time soon.

In fact, if my performance at work was only one-tenth as bad as the average gummint worker, there would be no paycheck, let alone no raise.

All We The People have to do is clean out the RATs and RINOs. Case closed! And, yes, that means scumbag Rangel.

When I first started as a Board Tech at Digital Equipment Corporation in 1978 (Jimmy Carter)we worked a lot of overtime because we were young and the money was great. After working a few Sundays for “Double Time” we noticed the math was off. So we divided the extra hours by the extra money and determined that we were ending up averaging $3 an hour. Less than half of our regular pay. That was the end of that.

According to President John F. Kennedy:

Our true choice is not between tax reduction, on the one hand, and the avoidance of large Federal deficits on the other. It is increasingly clear that no matter what party is in power, so long as our national security needs keep rising, an economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenues to balance our budget just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits… In short, it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now.

Yes, folks, he really IS that stupid.

And this is to say nothing of the collection O’cretins that actually elected this piece of excrement.

I think we should increase taxes:

On all members of the press, the broadcast media, the entertainment industry.

And ALL professional National Basketball League players.

They should be taxed at 95% of their income, PLUS 95% of their current wealth in all categories.

I propose that all tax bills have a Charlie Rangel exemption, because he's going to take one anyway.
