Limbaugh: "If you voted for Obama, you deserve to be unemployed" and "in misery"
Rush also continued to take up the cause of the wealthy, attacking those Obama voters who find themselves unemployed but believe extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy would increase the debt. Rush railed: "Now if you think -- if you are a college student and you've got a degree and you're out there and you can't find a job ... if you agree with Obama that the Bush tax cuts ought to sunset, if you think $700 billion ought to be taken out of the private sector and sent to Obama, then you deserve to be out of work for the rest of your life, because that $700 billion taken out of the private sector could be used to grow businesses and hire people. ... If you voted for Obama, you deserve to be unemployed. If you voted for Obama, you deserve to be in misery because that's what he has in mind for every one of us."

1. Is he Reagan redux?
...because that $700 billion taken out of the private sector could be used to grow businesses and hire people.

I believe that was the argument for "trickle down" some 30 years ago. I didn't work then and it won't work now...

5. he talks like a hate-filled extremist Nazi
the audacity of him pointing his finger at good US citizens who are voting for their own communities interests It must be nice living in a mansion far from the dregs of society where you don't have to live with other Americans, especially those who actually work for a living while this bag of flesh cheerleads for fascists who believe in an aristocracy ruling over Americans.

7. That 700 billion would not be taken out of the private sector -
it would be recycled through the government and put INTO the private sector as relief for the 90% from whom the rich stole the money in the first place.

What's worth more to the economy? 700 billion sitting in stock and bonds and off-shore accounts, or 700 billion being spent by workers? Which one moves the economy?

12. And if you've been unemployed since BUSH left office...?
Edited on Fri Sep-24-10 10:36 AM by rocktivity
By the way, that $700 billion would go back into the government coffers--not Obama's pocket--where it can be invested in deficit reduction, job creation and restoring government services. THAT'S how you lower EVERYONE'S taxes.

13. Clinton raised taxes on rich, and we had unprecedented prosperity...
...by the end of his second term.

Chimpy Bush cuts taxes on the rich, and the economy of the entire planet cratered at the end of his second term.

You have to be as big an idiot as Limbaugh to believe that lower taxes for the very rich will help the economy get better.

And you have to be as big a liar as Rush to misrepresent recent history.

Luckily, polls show that most people do in fact blame Bush for the rotten economy.

20. And if you voted for Bush? After all, the recession started with him, didn't it old Rushie?
Rush, Beck, Hannity. They are all the same. I doubt they believe a damn thing they say and they sell pure controversial entertainment to the braindead masses.

21. And, if you listen to Limbaugh, you deserve to be locked up in a padded cell
and in misery. I am still waiting for this fat fuck to explain where are all the jobs that were supposedly created by those tax cuts.
