6. No, just us... the poorest. The rest of you have politcal support.
We don't.

Does it matter?

8. If this atrocity passes
Rush Limbaugh will pocket $2.7 million per year.

Glenn Beck will nab $1.5 million per year.

Sean Hannity, an extra $1 million per year. And the list goes on.

I, however, was just told my Social Security won't be going up -- for the second year in a row.

10. I probably won't get social security when my time comes up in a few years.
Not at the rate these oligarchs are going.

11. See all those imported Hondas and Toyotas you see going down the road?
Edited on Tue Dec-07-10 04:31 PM by NNN0LHI
Well the workers building those cars don't pay into our social programs like SS and Medicare. They pay into their own social programs for their own citizens.

So when you see those all those imported cars rolling down the road think about your SS and Medicare benefits going to someone else besides you. Because they are.

Wave bye, bye, to your SS and Medicare benefits as they go by.

And if your neighbor is driving one go thank him for fucking you. Because he did.

12. Of course
why even wonder about it?

The middle class will be asked to give more and more. We can't do this because of the deficit. We can't do that because of the deficit.

Of course, the rich will be asked for nothing.
