Hey, as the email that is circulating throughout the US points out, we need to have wealth distribution. If the federal government has money to bail out German and Chinese banks and AIG, Fannie and Freddie et al, how about requiring them to spend the same amount, $85 billion, to bail out US families.
Each person over 18 would get about $425,000, and would pay $127,500 in tax on it, netting the Treasury a partial payback immediately. With the remaining $297,500 ($595,000 per couple), people could pay off their mortgages, student loans, car loans, medical bills and we might even have money to put in savings, providing capital for those small business owners. The lady who posted this calls it the We Deserve It Dividend. I am totally in favor of redistributing the federal government’s income which it takes from us by threat. We could do so much with our money and certainly wouldn’t have to bail out the nation’s banks if we able to manage it ourselves.

Actually, DumbObama doesn't want to "build" anything. His bottom up comment was his way of saying that he wants to GIVE our tax dollars to the "poor", to buy votes and to try and socialize the United States.

We've all heard the phrase that "socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried", and that is true. Our forefathers left Europe because of oppressive, socialistic, governments. Even today, Europe is in sad shape, thanks in no small part to socialism.

Whereas, America has - at least until the past 50 years - thrived and prospered as a free nation, based on capitalism and a free market.

Now, the Oblammo team (and libs in general) want to take us back 400 years, and enter into a state of serfdom, solely for the sake of power.

The only people who are happy in a socialist world are the "leaders"; the only people who make a profit in a socialist world, are the "leaders".

Looking around at all professed liberals, I would say the liberal party is the haven for kooks, radicals, and the self-hating people who never had a date in high school. Much of what they do - like demonstrations - is not for a cause...moreover, the "cause" is a reason to demonstrate to get attention. Seldom do they muster a good crowd to demonstrations that have no TV cameras in the vacinity.

Like their cult hero of the moment - zerObama - they are all very thin-skinned and defensive. Their "hate meter" goes from 0-100 in .02 nanoseconds at the slightest provocation.

Liberals are like the guy on the highway who is obessed with passing the line of cars, just to be number 1...and then slows down to 35 mph. Hey, it's a mini-ego trip to them, and it gives them the "power" to slow everyone else to a crawl.

These people have succeeded in using things like race and the environment to gain the "power" to control the lives and livlihood of the rest of us. It's time for the penduleum to swing the other way for a while.

Yes, I heard it and immediately knew that meant “SPEND, SPEND, SPEND!”
