1. GREED was calculated by comparing average incomes with the total number of inhabitants living beneath the poverty line. The research and methodology used were from Kansas State Univ. officials. See the article below for more info.

K & R. JEB Bush and Herr Trumpf, both greedy dangerous heirs of unearned wealth.

5. Interesting map - link please? Basically the reds are using the blues

to suck their life blood. Altho the blues don't have a lot of dispensable cash, they are probably more reckless in spending it on destructive behaviors. Aren't those blue regions also bibble belt, nascar, etc.?

12. Did you receive the link?

[erronis]

19. Yes, I saw the link - thanks. Lots of interesting maps but they raise more questions...

The fleecing of America...

6. "When does the greed stop?" Sen. Ted Kennedy on GOP opposition to raising the minimum wage, 2007.

9. it's like deja vu

all over again.

Surprised the analysis comes so fast though. Seems like back in 2000, nobody had the numbers on Bush's tax cut.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

10. Sure they did. Remember the presser with the Dems holding up a muffler?

[hfojvt]

22. unfortunately

that was after the doofus was already elected.

Gore mentioned it in the debates, but Bush responded with 'fuzzy math' and the media acted like facts were unavailable or math was too hard.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

23. The media had just spent years claiming Dems were unfit to govern because of Clinton....

All of the "Monica, Monica, Monica" crap they were spewing.

Bush ran of, "Restoring honor and integrity to the White House".

This, of course, was followed by one disaster after another while tossing in a "Hot Military Stud".

[hfojvt]

24. I am more cynical than that.

I think the media could see the dollar signs.

Even the "great socialist" (self proclaimed) Lawrence O'Donnell was on PBS complaining that Gore's tax cut plan would not do anything for HIM and that was why he liked Bush's plan better.

I had an email exchange with Somerby and he mentioned how Ted Koppel was on TV saying "this math makes my head spin" but then he was in some zoning dispute with a neighbor and was seemingly adept at calculating square footages and such.

Oh, he knew damned well which tax plan, which presidential candidate was gonna be better for HIS bottom line.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. Remember when they talked about "Bush Stocks"?

They knew he was going to "finish the job" in Iraq.

I did too.

[Initech]

11. They're both fired!

A Bush giving tax breaks to the uber wealthy? I am shocked, shocked I tell you!

[Enthusiast]

13. More trickle down, supply side, voodoo economics, a proven failure.

And guess who pays? You guessed it.

[Angry Dragon]

14. rememeber Romney and his crew at Bain running around with money

in their pockets, in their mouths??

[appalachiablue]

17. Mitt Greed is Good Romney, what a waste.

[d_legendary1]

15. According to Trump his taxes will go up

"It reduces or eliminates most of the deductions and loopholes available to special interests and to the very rich. In other words, it's going to cost me a fortune."

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH....sure.

16. After 35 years of Reaganomics, Trickle Up, and Voodoo Economics- Enough is Enough!

NBC News 1982 with John Chancellor- George HW Bush's true debate remarks on 'Voodoo Economics' of Reagan in 1980.

20. sickening

21. How do you convince the average voter?

I overheard an "average Joe" praise Trump's tax plan, "Trump makes a lot of sense. That's tax freedom."

Yes, both plans stink and heavily favor the richest Americans. But, how do you convince your average Joe, who makes 50K or less a year, that no GOP tax plan will help him? There are millions of "Joe's" and "Jane's" out there who will gladly vote for a Republican, but they don't listen.

[Turbineguy]

26. Since Trump's plan is the most destructive

he'll probably be elected.
