Alright, let's cut the crap and get to the point on the tax shit.
1. The Republicans ARE NOT for payments of $250 to social security recipients, but they ARE for tax cuts for people making more than $250,000 a year.

2. The very same Republicans think people on unemployment ARE lazy, but they think people who inherit fortunes AREN'T.

3. They think rich people who will save the money they get from a tax cut will help create jobs, while people on unemployment or social security who spend their money will not create jobs.

4. They think a class of people who ARE NOT SUFFERING deserve government help more than a class of people, like the unemployed, WHO ARE SUFFERING!

This is what they think and I think we're fucked if we have to live in the same nation with these morons any longer.

1. (+) 250,000 and more...
It's all about moving public monies into private hands. It's all about enriching the rich while stomping on the middle and working classes.

The wealthy are like giant leeches and ticks sucking the life blood of the American people and the Republicans are there to make sure they get some prime tissue...

3. It's a Compulsive Greed by the R's. It's a game to them, gaming the
system for unbridled wealth for them and their cronies and the hell with the majority of people.

5. People who inherit money are lazy?
I think you need to take that out. Just because someone inherits a lot of money does not make them lazy. It's not their fault they inherited it, they're just lucky.

Every other point you make is spot on.

7. Our numbers are greater than theirs. It simply requires courage and
political will to tax them correctly.

Courage and political will are our limitations right now.

9. The unemployment extension must be paid for, but tax cuts for the affluent don't
But all the polls agree, so it's us who must be smokin' the wacky tobacky. Besides, what's in it for the Republicans to hand over every available dime to their campaign sugar daddies?

10. This whole thing just makes me sick, I don't know if I can ever
vote again unless there is a third party candidate that has a chance.
