Do you feel like you're being robbed?
I mean, you can see those backing the conservative movement have been bleeding us dry over the last 7 years with one outrage after another but now, as the criminal's time in office comes near an end doesn't it seem like they have gone frantic robbing us of every last dime before they go? We are the goose who laid that golden egg being strangled to squeeze out that one last nugget right at the end. God damn, how much more can they take from us? Our homes, our livelihoods, our laws, every dime we have, and our national dignity too - they have taken it all, these filthy conservatives.

1. What you may be asking is if Americans are angrier than they are stupid?
They can be both at the same time, of course. Which is why winning in November is not a foregone conclusion.

3. And for the final insult, the coming inflation will make
your life savings pretty worthless. How do you think they plan on paying back the debt they have incurred? We, the ordinary common person, will be robbed again.

4. I feel I've been robbed and beaten for eight years
Now, finally, I have permission to rebuild my fortunes to be ready for the next rape pillage and plunder 8 years from now.

6. Eat the Rich!
Welcome to the class based system of society. We're really just a better off Mexico (not that there is anything wrong with Mexico; Not sayin, just sayin).

They would rise up and eat them. Gore Vidal

5. Yeah, that's my sense lately.
Kick out the jams, pull out the stops, and grab all they can get. Like they know they overreached and won't have another chance for a while.
