Analysis: Obama plan brings cries of class warfare
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090226/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_budget_analysis

President Barack Obama's first federal budget lays out the most far-reaching agenda for American life since Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. But paying for it by having upper-income earners shoulder much of the cost quickly provoked cries of class warfare in Congress.

5. Now, now..........
You know that talking about doing what you just said is a big no-no.

There are other things that need to be done first, time-tested and much-honored things, and, you know, if it's French, it's truly going to annoy the rightwingnuts, no?

Come, let us build together:

13. That woman
Just the sight of her name sets me trembling.

I've been campaigning - even though it's quite after the fact - to have that hateful, hateful woman's reproductive organs, wherever they may be, declared a Toxic Waste Site.

Imagine if she'd just been allowed to become the lesbian she really wanted to be. Imagine. . . . . . . . . .

9. PLEASE ... use [hr] to create a horizontal rule (line) instead of underscores.
... The long string of underscores screws up the format of the windows many folks use, making it necessary to scroll horizontally



... just to read your post. If you must have a window-spanning horizontal line as shown here , please use the pseudo HTML.



Thanks. :hi:

10. Let me see what the rich has done
They have taken their tax cuts and the money they made in America and invested it overseas in creating factories with slave labor than closing American factories down because of a cost and bankrupting workers and whole towns.

They call it capitalism I call it Treason.

16. It's been 11 years since Warren Buffet went on the talk show circuit telling us
that there is, and has been, a class war going on in America since the 70s, and that only one side was fighting it.

We ignored him.
:dunce:

20. Neither did I, but I was using "we" in the generic sense.
It was a double shock to me, one that he was so plainly telling the truth, and second, and that so few were listening.
