"CREDIT CARD CONSERVATIVES are borrowing money from our enemies so they don't have to raise taxes...
to pay for their tax cuts."

I found this on Gilpin guy's sig line at www.colorado pols. These guys can be so on point. I don't think many people understand how much Russia and China own us. 21st century pillaging neocon style, how nouveau. :eyes:

1. This really explains the concept of "borrow and spend".

4. And it's a much catchier phrase.
"Credit-card conservatives"...rolls off the tongue nicely, doesn't it?

2. This is something that resonates with people
I have the following posted on my cube wall outside my office, with a big heading over the top of it that reads:

WHICH TAX BRACKET ARE YOU IN?




There have been a number of co-workers looking it over in the past couple days. One very apolitical, smart fellow that I work with looked it over, and immediately observed that under McCain, "where is the money coming in from?" Which left a perfect opportunity for me to agree, and pose the rhetorical question of "how are we supposed to get the country out of the multi-trillion dollar debt hole we're in, if we're giving tax cuts to everybody?

Thoughtful look and nods...

:evilgrin: One at a time, one at a time!

6. Brilliant. That would make a great walking piece for the Dem campaigns.
I cannot believe how many people believe Obama will raise their taxes.
