Audio: Dem Rep says Obama should “create a real crisis” to hike taxes on wealthy
Hot Air ^ | DECEMBER 10, 2010 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 12/10/2010 7:05:44 PM PST by RobinMasters

That’s not the only piece of hilarity from Minnesota’s Keith Ellison, the Democrat who recently won more than 70% of the vote in his House re-election.

Ellison suddenly discovered his inner Milton Friedman in wondering how much the tax deal cut by Barack Obama with Republicans would cost per job created, saying that the reduction in the estate tax would “give away trillions of dollars” over the next ten years.

What Obama really needs to do, Ellison advised Minnesota Public Radio, was to “create a real crisis” that would force the GOP to surrender on tax hikes for those making $200,000 a year or more (via Weekly Political Review and Rhymes with Right):

You’ve got that right, and it means the communists are out in force. We must answer in kind lest that kind of threat become mainstream. Too bad it’s not impeachable speech.

The “Democrats” now remaining in Congress are straight up marxists and members of the marxist “Congressional Progressive Caucus”

The right needs to institute a policy of ZERO TOLERANCE FOR MARXISTS IN CONGRESS.

CPC members need to be hunted down like the degenerate communist animals they are and jailed for subversion and grand theft.

Letting these people walk around as if they are ordinary Americans is a serious mistake, they are robbing the productive class via the legislative process.

They want to steal more of our money, let them do it the old fashioned way, at gunpoint.

If you replaced “wealthy” with “black” or “asian” or “white”
would increasing taxes be supported on those groups?

“give away trillions of dollars”

Every time I hear some politician say that "they are giving away money" when taxpayers are "allowed" to keep their earnings, it just makes my blood boil.

It worked for hitler with the Jews. He blamed all German problems on them and took everything they had as reparations. Then things went from bad to worse.

The first thing republicans need to do is turn off the heat in the Whitehouse. Let that skinny commie bastard work at 37 degrees.

Do we need to question any longer whether Soros is in bed with the Islamists?

He said that he was afraid America would win the “war on terror” because then America and capitalism would both be strong, and he believes those to be the 2 great evils of the world.

The communists and Islamists have united to put the puppet Obama in place, who serves both their ends.

I want to know what IS considered as an impeachable speech, by anybody? When answering this, also have it in mind that the U.S. government has, probably and every now and then, practiced unconstitutional activities, from the very beginning, onwards past today.
