1. Yeah, but how many of them have lunch at the White House?

President Barack Obama is meeting today with 15 heads of the world’s biggest banks, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS)’s Lloyd C. Blankfein and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)’s Jamie Dimon, White House officials said.

2. But those are job creators

4. Oh look! A large majority of Americans are in favor of the progressive option!

Again!

But, liberals/progressives only make up about 20-30% of the population we're told over and over again.

Many more Americans identify as conservative we're told.

Point: If a majority of Americans like the progressive option/direction on policy for so many issues, then they are progressive. They are just too ignorant/brainwashed to know it. Of course, very few in the media OR the Democratic Party ever make this very important distinction. It's a salient point that just might break the brainwashing so it's rarely, if ever, made to the masses.

5. I think that the Buffett Plan is a good way to start the process

Under the Buffett Plan, the 1% will be forced to pay the same tax rates as the rest of us

7. Unfortunately, most of the gov't work for those CAUSING it. n/t
